Bigshrimpin - I'll start a post in the repairs / mods forum and add some better pictures at some point. I was hoping to sea trial before the word got out. In the meantime, here are a few pictures. It's 3/4" carbon core honeycomb. I tried to keep it as light as possible, I know I'm a guinea pig and vertical center of gravity could be an issue. Top has a layer of 17oz on the bottom/inside and 2 layers of 17oz on top and outside (very top layer is 1708 with mat facing out to protect from jig heads bouncing off of it), set in epoxy. Added small 'stringers' to the underside at 20" on center - maybe overkill, but the engineer at carbon core said it got the roof to the needed capacity for walking around up there (no deflection). I glassed in rod holders under the gunnels and there is a rod holder section where the back of the house meets the cap on both sides. It glasses the inside of the cap, the hull side, and liner down to the floor which is also re-cored. We'll see if it is rigid enough. The top doesn't move. It's not in the water yet. Welder has it for rails and rod holders before I finish non-slip and install the windows.
