fish box

Pete... Following your instructions and it's going good so far. Unfortunately I didn't cut a big enough area out the first time, but it'll work. I'll give it a few days to dry out, then fill it back in.

Underneath the topskin, I resined in random shape/size squares and rectangles. Two layers of 1/4 inch ply and cloth with an offset pattern on each layer of wood. Should have taken a picture of it during those steps. Here's where I'm leaving off for the day.

Good Job

Youre coming right along. Taking pics will allow someone else to do the same to theirs, they can go back to your documentation. Then you'll be a proud grandfather.

Yeah, but the "grandkids" will have be able to figure out that a thread titled "fish box" evolves into a floor repair documentation. Here's where I'm at after glassing over the repair. I think I shortcut the glasswork a little by only going with two layers of cloth. The first layer was about 1" wide strips... the second layer strips were about 2" wide.

I'm holding off on the fish box modification for now just to keep the amount of work manageable. I think over the next few years, I'll cut the entire floor out and do exactly what Capt Pete did.

I used Interlux Brightside paint for the floor. In retrospect, I should've used the two-part like I did on the rest of the deck. It's way harder and more durable. Anyway, it turned out good. I used a no-slip additive, too.
