No I did not. I think/hope it will be ok. I’m hoping with one inch coosa decks and two layers of 1708 on top of deck full foam it will be ok. No turning back now. Feels like a rock and have not put the glass on yet. Time will tell and that is a great question for I thought about it a lot. Also I’m ready for it to be done lol.

If none of the exposed coosa is subject to constant water contact you should be ok. BW 26 is 1000 times more impervious to water than plywood and there are many naked underside plywood decks out there that are doing just fine.

Hi Oldboat,

Great boat. We had a 71 IO.

Did you buy or build the hatch receivers? I am debating the make or buy decision because I have not found any that match the dimensions I need.

Best regards,

Ed
