I got the rest of the bulkheads cut and epoxied in last week. Over the weekend I started figuring out hatches and cutting them out. It sure is nice have a floor to stand on. I should be getting a resupply of epoxy this week which will hopefully last through the rest of the rebuild.

Nice work on those bulk heads..do you order your supplies on line or get them from a distributer?

I buy the epoxy and fillers from Raka(best price and I really like the low viscosity), the glass and coring from Revchem, and radom stuff from amazon. Revchem is geared towards commercial clients, however they have always been happy to sell to me. The last quote I got for 1708 was $2.21 per lb. which is ~$3.45 a yard!

I think Revchem has a distribution center up near you Strick. Check them out. If you find someplace with better pricing please let me know.

It's 5' to the edge of the raised floor then 2' of cockpit floor. I'm going to make a ledge around the cockpit and have insert boards to make the sleeping area 7'.

I have an account with Svendsens in Alameda and go there for the little things...buy bulk from composites one in Sac...hard to say if I’m getting good deals or not as I just pay like a dummy lol

Photo update. I'm ready to epoxy the front deck down, hopefully this week or weekend. Still waiting to get my fuel tank back from the welders.

That is really nice work. Great to watch the evolution. Going to be truly one of a kind. What did you use for finish in your lockers?
