[QUOTE="the fisherman guy, post: 384882, member: 13667"] Today was spent working on the boat. I removed the remaining amount of blue protective vinyl with a plastic scraper and MEK, it was a bugger to get off. Whatever happens, don't leave that stuff in the sun to bake on and become brittle. Glad this step is finished. [img]https://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m568/thefishermanguy/Scrape_zpsovr6fuqq.jpg[/img] I have the deck vinyl on order, should be here Monday. I ordered it from Annette at [url="https://www.sewwut.ca/"]Sew Wut[/url] just off Blackfoot trail. Before I am ready for vinyl, I need to build the floor. Using 5/8 plywood, I cut two pieces to fit between the benches in the front and middle of the boat. Once they were cut to fit, they were sanded along the edges to round them for the vinyl. Here is a test fit of the floor. [img]https://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m568/thefishermanguy/Wood_zpszqgy0yyf.jpg[/img] I coated the plywood in Thompsons Water seal. It's not the best product for this purpose, but I had 5L of it left over from another project, so it's what I used. Tomorrow, I will begin on the rear casting platform at the stern. [/QUOTE]
