Thanks for the links to the deck material. I'm considering it for my floor.

The helm looks great!

Looks like you used similar synthetic teak for internal floors too. It looks really classy!

Good luck on the survey!

Thanks Jim, Carl and vupilot; I appreciate the compliments! I completed the rear seat, sanded it and put on a coat of epoxy. Bubble-pocalypse!!! There must have had A LOT of air in the wood cause I have never seen bubbling this bad. I put on the first coat at 8am (105+207) and when it was dry to the...

Looks really good!

Congrats!

Wow Steve, just wow. Amazing! The railing on the deck looks so good! The amount of work is staggering; so much plumbing and wiring. It is so cool your going to have her in the water soon. Is that one of the motors in the lower left of the second pic? Does that wall come out that is on top of it? Lov...

The helm turned out really well. As my woodworking teacher said "There are no mistakes in woodworking, only design opportunities." The curve on the back to make the platform longer really fits in well.

I sanded some more and got most of the low frequency noise out. A few very subtle dips here and there but I don't think anyone other than I would notice. I put three more coats of 105+207 epoxy on at {7pm, 6am, 11am} I dropped filled a few suckouts. I got them all now! I am pretty happy with it over...

I sanded the hull again after the previous epoxy session. There were still some small low spots so scuffed them up with scotch bright and drop filled them with epoxy without rolling the entire deck with epoxy. It really helped to fill in the majority of the low spots that were in the white stripes. ...

Awesome, I think it will help you out a lot.

I saw these pics above with the blocks next to the epoxyed seam and it scared me a bit. I recommend putting clear packing tape (the stuff that is just clear and sticky, no reinforcement strings) on all these sorts or blocks so the epoxy does not stick to them. It would SUCK To glue a big block to th...

Hi WithDrew, Have you read the Glen-L Boat Building with plywood (BBWP) book yet? If not I recommend it. The Ski King is a lot like my 16' Ski boat if you want to see a lot of pics on the deck planking and motor setup in my signature. The hull is glass though. Are you going to plank it or paint the ...

Wow, that is a cool looking boat and you have made amazing progress!

I put 4 more coats of epoxy on the deck. 105+207. This time I used a roller (West system 800 an then tipped with a foam brush). Applied at 3pm, 6pm, 8am, 3pm. I should have added the masking earlier to protect the hull, I had a few sneeky epoxy runs that I had to address on the hull paint. #Shortcut...

The OEM cleat backing plates are $25 each so I decided to make them. I made these for about $40 total. Got the 316 Stainless Steel at McMaster 2" x 24" x 0.1875" Used a 1" hole saw on the drill press and a lot of cutting fluid at 290RPM to drill the holes. It was not easy drilling but not super hard...

I installed the bilge pump thru-hull fitting and plumbed it up today.
