I really like the move of the cabin and the built in ice chest Ken. Actually makes the front more useful than just storage. What have you decided to use for flooring, I know it will take a beating with tanks, spear guns, etc.? SeaDek would look nice! Looking real sweet!!

SeaDek and other products don't fair well to the abuse and rigors of diving and spearfishing. The entire deck is 3/4 nidacore and is well proven as durable decking for commercial spear boats so that's what I went with. The good thing is that the gelcoat used is user refirbishable. When it gets messed up I just roll on a new coat.

Can you tell me about the layup schedule on the nidacore deck?

2 layers of mat top and bottom is amazingly strong and should do for most decking. 3 layers up top make it Moose Proof....

Mel picked the color of Kingston Grey in Awlgrip. 2 coats base with 3rd coat 50/50 base/clear and a final coat clear. Should be pretty durable.

Looking great Ken!

The helm seat looks comfy!

1 1/2 oz mat or 1708?

Nothing is Moose Proof!
