The stringers are finally done and my last layer of 1708 is on the transom. All i have to do is put some thickened resin in the stringer drain holes then drill the holes 1 inch( I over drilled the holes 1 1/2 inch) to allow for a solid ring of glass around the drains to protect the raw wood. I also drilled my garboard plug a 1 1/2 and then used thickened resin reinforced with some chopped glass to fill the hole back and then drilled it 1 inch. A little more prep and then im ready for the sole. What should I do to water proof the bottom side of my 3/4 inch ply for my sole? 1 layer of csm?or should I just simply hotcoat it?

I'm no expert, but I might leave the stringer drain holes 1 1/2". Might help keep them from getting blocked and water pooling against the stringer.

Bradford thats a good call. I will do that. I will just finger some thickened resin in there to cover raw wood. and then kinda touch it up with a dremel for easier flow.

Re-attached my liner pieces today with thickened resin.and also cut and prepped one of my old fish boxes that I removed from the floor as my new splash well. Just basicly did some prep for the sole today. I cant wait to get this floor in.

Looks like yer gonna take the floor all the way back to the tranny...will the floor have some "fall" to it to drain into the well...and I'm thinkin' the well will be complete w/pump(s) and drain-grate so nobody steps off into it in the heat of battle that's surely gonna erupt...
...like the use of the partial floor hatch liner....

REEL yes I will have one bilge pump in the motor "splash" well and one below deck. The reason I even used the the fish box liner instead of the old motor well was because the fish box liner has the 3/4 inch recessed lip on it so I can drop in the drain grate made from teak to keep the boys from busting there butt in that hole. Im also going to have 2 ball scuppers at deck level on port and starboard.The floor has factory grade to the rear seeing how the stringers i installed are factory height.
