1968 22-2 FB rebuild

My drains are out the sides before the cabinet
Either way works just plan on drains that can take a plug for when boat has a heavy load.
Ping pong balls are for table tennis and not scuppers lol

right now, with how high i raised the deck, the bottom of my cockpit scuppers should be 3 inches above the waterline , and at the side or transom whichever way i go, should be 1-1/2 to 2 inches above the waterline.

not really a whole lot to report,, got the sides of the deck fully glassed and puttied in. along with the forward bulkhead for the casting deck, then glassed some leftover penske board to the sides of the console... and today i puttied the casting deck in place. will fully glass it tomorrow... starting to look like a boat again!

Really nice, I like that casting deck.

Me too! Great use of space!

Great progress, Aaron!  I imagine I will be doing the same thing with my console.  Do you plan to finish off the inside with gel coat, or leave as-is?

What is the cut out on the port side of the casting deck? Is it for the fuel hose?

Looking good, you might be on putting her back in the water this year, huh?

got some more work in today glassed the casting deck in. 2 layers of 1708 down the sides, and so far just one layer side to side


while the bow was curing, i glassed the aft bulkhead in place after cutting out 2 more holes in the knees for easier access to the lower porta bracket bolts. 2 layers of 1708 inside and out. you can kinda see the recess that the scuppers will sit in.


and i made the box for the fuel fill/vent line. the starboard side is just a closed box, to make it look "even" and to add more support for the gunnel.


thats it! burned up the last of my resin so ill have to wait a few days to get some more.

[gran398]

Tab her down! Those double boxes will be a plus running in a chop. Stiffness where you need it.

Another plus...you can leave a big castnet up there from stop to stop.....shouldn't slip back

Aaron looking great keep it up  I forgot, are you using poly or epoxy?

i used vinylester below deck, and poly above deck.

[Aswaff400]

not much to report... last week i painted the forward bilge, looks good, will do 1 or 2 more coats and be done.(no pics)

this week i puttied and started glassing the transom cap in place. i also started glassing the starboard side gunnel cap back on... its turning out pretty good.


you can also see i have the port side box fully glassed on the casting deck.

Good progress

Looks great, Aaron!  How wide is your transom cap (front to back)?
