As the work is progressing
Have you thought of beefing up your floor section from the inner side?
Keep up the good work Kamie.
I had considered it, but i'm not sure. Once the deck and the foam are back in the boat, I assume it will be as strong as it originally was. As long as there are no voids in the foam, that should be plenty strong. I do plan to add more wood under the deck, especially where i plan to install the dual consoles. I have not decided if I will install a piece of wood across the stern to hold gas cans and the batteries. I may in fact move the batteries under the dual consoles, leaving just the gas cans in the stern.
About 90% of the foam from the stern section is out. I have a small section in the starboard stern corner to work on tomorrow and that maybe all i can do. If I want to try and get back farther, i will need to pickup a second 12 inch drill but extension. I am afraid that it will wobble too much and not be that effective. Currently i can reach back past the non-skid.
