[QUOTE="Mojo, post: 329145, member: 2642"] Thanks for the Encouragement Ben, Here's the answers to your questions.. how did you end up cutting through the foam so straight? or is it a little messy [i][color=#FF0000]Actually I just got lucky! The vertical piece of foam was in there cut like that already. It just so happens that the place i decided to cut the middle bench was pretty close to where that foam was precut. [/color][/i] i see youve added an aft platform- any thought as to a spashwell? ive gone around and around about using one on my boat. [i][color=#FF0000]I thought about a splash well for all of about 2 sec's. If I was running a larger motor maybe, but after the test run the other day I didn't have any issues with water coming up over the transom so I figure if any does get in the boat that's what the bilge pump is for.[/color][/i] do the side rails of your front deck conform to the curvature of the hull or is your gunwale pretty much straight? [color=#FF0000][i]There isn't much of a curve up front. I leveled the boat based off the front deck that was already there and just ran them back level in relation to that. I did that back to the second or third rib in..can't remember; then I leveled the boat back out based on the center bench and used that reference for the right and left lockers.[/i][/color] [/QUOTE]
