Floor Repair

Sweet! So the blank hull areas should already drain... one less thing to do.

Definitely will consider adding a few hatches. Let me see on the option of making them level. I'm pretty new to glass work and i'm guessing that after routering the bevel to sink the hatch down the 1/4 or so, I will need to glass it over to avoid rot.

i also got mine from west used the tempress. they last about 2/3 years and then crack because of the heavy traffic in front of the cabin door & kids jumping down from the cabin roof

Floor is moving along. Will be ready for wood in the next few days.

After removing floor it seemed to be more solid that expected, but after removing the glass and digging into the wood, the wood was much worse than expected as it was moist in most areas. Only 2 areas where is seems quite hard to remove from glass.
Very glad I went with removing the whole floor instead of trying to piece repair it.

Cut out the fish box and expecting to reuse it. Was expecting to work around it, but the wood between it and the deck was roted in some areas.

joe, saw this on another site, this is what i did with the string to get stringer heights close and check "plumb" of the deck.

Just got done in garage. Some beers with some help from my cousing and got the wood cut and adheared onto the deck cap.

I was trying to see how many items I can place on the wood to make it adhear evenly! Fertilizer, fuel, paint, cement, acid, pool salt, resin... If it had some weight to it, it was used!

On to getting glass over the wood in next few days.

Moving right along. Not as much done this weekend due to rain. Installed wood and put biaxial over it. Then prepped and reattached Fish box to the floor.
