It turned out to be more work than I thaught. Went to replace the carpet and found rotten spots under the seats.
I'll add more picks as more work gets done.

How did that foam smell?

« **Reply #2 on:** September 30, 2008, 06:30:05 PM »

Thats one good thing about smoking, I couldn't smell it very much.

But I did catch a wif of bad between cigarettes.

You can use a weedeater to get that foam out, it's messy but sort of fun

Looks like you have a nice hull there Marlin . Most of them with a floor like that only have the one center stringer, looks like yours has three (stronger = better). Is there another floor down there , looks like the bottom is still flat between the outer stringers in the third pic

I only got the foam out of the drives side before the trash can was full. After garbage day I'll get the other side cleaned out.

« **Reply #6 on:** October 12, 2008, 05:39:18 PM »

Just an up date. Got all the foam out of both sides and made a pattern for the new floor.

Any of you Cali. people recognize this plate? I found it in the nose.

Finally got around to getting the new ply and cutting out the new floor yesterday. Should have it glassed in by the end of today.

I got to get it done in time for that Potholes Reservoir bash that I just found out that I missed this year.

Floor is in screwed down and sealed. Time for the costly part of this job the new carpet.
How do you like the red neck seats?

Those seats are badass, the colors clash though, think about how fast that boat would feel in rough water

Good progress, thanks for the pictures.

Remember only mix as much resin as you have time for. I should have used half at a time, because I lost half of what I mixed. It went from liquid to set just before I was finished.

« **Reply #14 on:** October 27, 2008, 12:43:38 PM »

I normally only work small areas of fiberglass at a time, and found that the Tide detergent measuring cups are great for mixing resin in. When it hardens you can peal it out of the cup or just pitch it and start with a new one.

Finally got around to pulling the engine. The oil looked like pancake batter and the block has a large crack in it. The good news is I don't care cause I'm not going to use it.

Time to get started on the swim platform. I desided to go with something a little different.
1/2" plexiglass, should look pretty cool when I'm done.

« **Reply #20 on:** January 12, 2009, 08:26:17 AM »

Cool idea , never had much luck with plex myself maybe that thickness will help ? I made the windshield on my Miller cruiser with tinted 3/8 years back

« **Reply #21 on:** January 28, 2009, 10:17:35 PM »

Finally got the swim platform done. Now just have to disassemble and paint the supports and round off the corners.

« **Reply #22 on:** February 15, 2009, 07:48:57 PM »

Got the lights mounted and wired this weekend. I used 12" mini LED strips.
