I was not planning on a ledge to mount the deck to like I did for the lower deck because the flare of the bow seemed to be enough but I could be talked into it if you think that is a mistake to exclude .

What are the red lines representing? Gutters? Are you going to have a ledge along the outside to support the deck? I assume you'll only have one hatch?

I can't quite get the melamine sheets even. Apparently my concrete floor isn't even.  Haven't laid any glass yet but need to deal with that.

Getting closer
I spent Friday night fairing out the floor with gelcoat and cabosil. It doesn’t photo well but basically I am smoothing out the floor to my liking before I start the final buildup of gelcoat.





Getting closer to closing off the transom. Figured now would be a good time to fixed the smashed port-gunnel corner. I am not sure what caused the damage as I got it this way.









I realized I should have done it before I tied the floor into the cap but I used a floor jack and bought myself the clearance I needed to slip a sandwich of 1.5 oz chopped and 1708. 






I taped everything off, wet some glass, set it up then released the jack which lowered the cap back down squeezing the glass in place. I then added the screws back to squeeze it all in place then used a chip brush to make sure everything is where I wanted it..





I drowned the broken fibers in 404 peanut butter for added strength.




I then continued to install the original pieces of the transom cap that I prepped a few months ago. I tacked them in place with screws and started to glass the pieces in with a strip of 1708.







I beveled the edges with a grinder and laid a narrow strip into the bevel. It’s hard to see in the photo but that’s why it’s a thin strip of glass

Casting deck time

Form made of 1/2 x 1 inch pieces of wood. They were 8 ft long and less than $2 a piece. They worked great for this because the boat is curved and so are these pieces of wood like all the wood from home depot and lowes.



Going to tape the 3/4 x 3/4 pieces of pvc board down on melemine where I want the gutters. do they need to bigger than 3/4 like maybe 1 inch. Actually hurting my brain thinking about this as it is upside down .
