[QUOTE="MRichardson, post: 240625, member: 6763"] So I've got a rough template for the forward casting deck in my semi v. As someone recently pointed out the edges of the deck should ideally be angled slightly outwards from bottom to top to sit flush against the side of the boat... however it's not as simple as setting the saw at an angle as the slope changes drastically along the sides of the deck as you move toward the front. One solution is to cut the whole thing at the most extreme angle, so any gaps would be on the bottom side of the deck (we're talking so close to the hull that it would never really bear any weight). The second brilliant idea that I had would be to line the edges of the inside hull with nonstick paper and fill that small gap with epoxy. At the most, I'd say the gap is 3/16 of an inch at its widest. So really it's just a slightly thicker coat along the edges (and angled/form-fitted). I'm coating the whole thing with epoxy resin anyway. Those of you with far more experience please tell me why this would not work! [/QUOTE]
