[QUOTE="dearl, post: 469022, member: 1760"] Nice progress...One word of caution, if you are dead set on sealing it with fiberglass use epoxy resin. It will cost more up front, but if this is a boat you will have for a long time, use epoxy resin not polyester. Your plan for the sub-floor sounds like a good one, keep in mind your stringers will all be different lengths and widths, a lot of measuring and double checking before you start cutting, just saying things can get out of whack quick with V-hull stringers. Foam.....just make sure the channels for the water to drain out the hull are open, and you don't foam yourself into a corner. You can set up a pretty nasty corrosion situation by not allowing the hull to drain. Im dealing with that very thing on my build, its no fun repairing either, very time consuming. [/QUOTE]
