many questions about repairing/replacing stringers

[carboncow]

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.
