[QUOTE="fwman1, post: 493350, member: 31515"] I made some good progress on the front deck. The outline of the aluminum framework is completed as well as trimming the pink foam board to fit. Unfortunately, the weather is turning very cold so I won't be able to make up the sandwich composite till it warms up some. My epoxy hardener was chosen for 50 degree temps. I don't think it will much care for twenties and thirties. I am ready in case we get an unpredicted warm day or two. Once the composite is cured, my plan is to lay out 2x4s on edge modeled after the deck support I built today. Then I'll put the the completed and cured decking on top and walk/jump on it to see what amount of center and cross support is needed. I'll add that structure to the boat. After that, I'll install the composite deck then reinstall my electronics and trolling motor. I'm open to suggestions on what to use to cover the FRP. How about this?
