The deck was made from laminated foam.
The top layer of glass was cut using a diamond blade in a circular saw. This
allows the foam to bend into a fair shape. Bog was applied in the cracks and
once sanded glass was laminated over the deck. The edges were rounded off and
taped to the side panel.
There was a problem how to bolt the
beams to the floats and the easy way was by using inspection ports to allow
access to the bolts. Because there was a bulkhead under the beam it would have
required 2 ports for each beam. I didn’t want to have 4 ports on each float so
I decided to use the float as a plug and make a split mould of the floats. Instead
of the bulkhead there was two ring frames where the beams are attached.
Probably not one of my smarter
decisions but it would allow me to build another boat with a lot less work. So,
I could justify my decision.
