I finally got around to building and installing a front deck on my Jon Boat project.
About 20 years ago when I rebuilt my old Cobia I did this in the non-skid sand on the deck;
So I decided to do something similar to my Jon Boat just for fun. After I cut out the plywood and I epoxy coated it I got it ready for the sand non-skid surface and I needed a model for my design;
All sketched out, I am no artist by any means but what the heck;
Cut out;
Some details added;
Epoxy and sand;
Tape removed before epoxy sets up fully so I won’t have to use a chisel to do it;
Epoxy applied over the sand after a good vacuuming;
All done glued and screwed into place, not to bad for a jon boat;
Close up;
