The Top style is actually commonly used on Gause Built Boats (not sure if they come out of the same mold but they surely look identical) which I discovered in the process of making the decision to purchase. The top was marketed as a takeoff from a Young 24. It has a fiberglass hardtop so it makes for a usable platform. I really like the look and think it will compliment the eyebrow on the cap well. I know most like a flatcap but I like the classic look of the brow and its functionality to shed water. 4

Something like "J175PXST" correct? You may be able to back in to the model (fairly close anyway) by reviewing the OMC model letters with what you have i.e. shaft length, electric start, etc. If so, start here: https://marinepartssource.com/blog/identifying-evinrude-johnson-outboard-motors 10

I've had good luck with Nida Core (Plascore) using it for deck core, used 5/8" and 3/4" but it has its drawbacks. Two versions available, with a scrim and without. Just a thin covering on the surface to help attach fiberglass. Get the scrim. My layup for each side was a light coat of resin onto the scrim, then 1 layer 1708, and 1 layer of woven 12 oz., all wet on wet. Panels are reasonably light & stiff as long as you're not having to span a long distance without supports, 2 foot x 4 foot area was no problem. The edges are the most work. If you've got an opening for a hatch and need to fill the sides of the honeycomb it takes some time but not a deal breaker. You also can't put a screw into it without prep, filling in the honeycombs, I added Divinicell as a backer where I knew I'd have screws. It's cheaper than structural foam core. |
