Let's get back on this project!


Well the boat has been on hold for the past several weeks due to some much needed vacation (Went to Venezuela to meet some family - Good times!) and also due to the fact that it is currently STINKING HOT!! Prior to going on vacation I made my wife a happy woman by attaching some eye bolts to the ceiling so that I could store the boat. This allowed her to park her car in the garage - a first for the past several months (Which has been a bit of a sore spot with her!!). It also has set the permanent storage location of the hull once it is finished.

This Sunday during a fit of "Cabin Fever" I went outside in the garage and braved the heat. I cut out all the deck panels from the main sheets in preparation for the next step of installing the deck. Next step will be to clean up all the pieces that I cut out and join the two pieces of the deck floor together, along with the two pieces of each internal side panel. Working with epoxy in this heat should be fun - Now I know why I ordered the slow cure laminating epoxy!
