OK, it was a long Sunday but the floor is in and we peanut buttered all the gaps. As you can see from the photos we created a "lip" for the new floor to sit on top of as it touches the permitter of the old floor. We took 2x4 and resined them and glued/wood deck screwed them into the glass and then the new floor on top of them. We had a couple high and low spots on the stringers & bulkheads and knocked down and built up and with everything screwed in the floor is unbelievably strong...if anyone has a baby elephant we could test it.

We used cabasol (sp?) and 1/4" chopped strand with our epoxy resin to fill the gaps and we'll grind things down on Tuesday (two days). Then it's time to put down one layer of glass and epoxy resin on the deck...and the floor is done!

Next steps include restoring the hull and prepping the interior for a Line-X type product.

nice built so far please send me a email with you number and ill be happy to answer all your questions

Thanks. We are 100% done on stringers, floor, fill and sand. We will be "rolling" textured durabak this week on the floor and smooth durabak on center console and gunnel. Once dry it will be remounting t-top and hardware.

got some stringer pics?

If there are none in my multiple posts (and I think there are) look at my signature link of all the images.

Nice rebuild carboncow I am in the middle of my own rebuild Keep up the good work. I am also in Ohio

Thanks for the comments...we just got the 2nd coat of durabak on the topside tonight...we are pretty much Durabak jr experts now if anyone has any questions on that product and how to apply it correct...I could write a whole blog but don't have the desire at this point. But we do have some good info, suggestions, short cuts...etc. PM or post here if you like.

We do recommend it...looks great. We went a bit over the top by doing the texture coat on the inside of the walls. I wouldn't suggest that for most but the damn company ran out of smooth white and said it would be 6-8 weeks before they restock it (comes from South Africa) and they are the only source for this product. Found that out half way thru the paint when we needed to reorder.

Photos attached show the 2nd coat applied. We need to apply a 3rd coat to a few areas that were repairs with dark fills...we are mixing our smooth and textured we have left to get a more averaged application.

At this point we have todo the rub rail, wood (all hatches and such are going to be done), wiring, center console and t-top go back in, bottom coat and new graphics along with canvas work!

EDIT: And as always see my signature for links to the entire photo gallery!
