I added another bulkhead just aft of the tank to help support it. then I added some foam to the bottom of the tank to support it and hold it in place. I also finished foaming in the fishbox. this new foam that I used really worked out great. The manufacturer is called hi bond. They sell it in gallons rather than quarts like the last stuff I used. Its cheaper too. The installation instructions for the tank say specificly NOT to foam in the tank because it needs to be able to flex 2-3%. That is why I did not fully foam it in. I actuall have to cut a little foam out because it expanded more than I thought it would.

well it's been a while but I got some more work done on the boat today. I cleaned up the underside of the floor. cut out some new wood. I glued it in with resin thickened with West System 403. then I added a piece of 1/4" aluminum where I will mount the drivers seat. Then I rolled on a layer of woven roving. I ran out of resin near the end so I will have to finish tomorrow. I need to get this done it has taken entirely too long.

the floor is finally in!!! It has been a very busy spring so far. getting any work done on my own boat has been hard to come by. But I'm almost done. I got a smoking deal on some underwater lights. More pics of them will be soon.

Nice! What did you end up using to coat the top of the floor?

captpete13 05-12-2010 11:38 AM

Thanks. I used Interlux brightside polyurethane with some awlgrip non skid particles mixed in. They make a nonskid paint called interdeck but they didn't have the color I wanted. I'm going to apply a second coat tonight.
