I drilled a couple holes last weekend and I will finish filling the voids this weekend. Hoping i can get them all filled, without over filling. There will be a lot of grinding and glass work, to get the floor solid and repaired.

As for the non-skid, the plan is to make the mold out of urethane rubber and if that works then practice with some of the white gelcoat i had remaining from the outside of the hull.
I ordered the urethane rubber from US Composits when i ordered the foam. The rubber I got is 60 shore hardness, not sure if it will be too stiff but I should find out quickly.

Clearly i won't be ready for gelcoat, inside or out until spring. If the weather holds, I might get the inside fiberglass work done, but gelcoat needs 75 degrees and it's hit or miss with the days how long the weather will hold.
