[QUOTE="steelerfan88, post: 316985, member: 11752"] Yep.....I am really enjoying the work. I am a cronic "tinker'er" by nature so this boat project is right up my alley :D . I am fortunate to own some nice industrial wood working tools/machines so I can make pretty much anything I want from scratch. I too often wondered why some people install wood on their boat and forgo the most important step which is to properly waterproof their work. My procedure is as follows : Use only marine grade plywood, glue everything heavily with Titebond waterproof glue, use only stainless steel fasteners, apply two coats of epoxy resin to ALL wood surfaces, apply two final finish coats of waterproof & UV resistant paint. I think by using this method, while more expensive and time consuming , it will yield a far superior finished product that will last for many years. [/QUOTE]
