[QUOTE="JCR, post: 104277, member: 1984"] Too dang nice of a day to do more stripping.. took it out to a Buddy's pond this morning for sea trials and she passed with flying colors.. for some reason I need to figure out this pic posting on this site.it keeps putting them in reverse ....or I do #-o :lol: any way I use a sliding bevel gauge to fine the approximate angle ..but still cut a piece of scrap first to see if I'm right. I dadoed the floor stringers to fit nicely and rest on top of the two floor ribs.. Scribing the side front deck supports along the hull took a couple of passes but we got her..lots of compound miters to boot.. use 1/4 " inch SS. lags and washers to connect the upper decks to the sides.. I dipped them in marine epoxy before screwing them in ..wipe off the squeeze out immediately after they cinched up.. gave all the raw wood 3 coats of spar varnish after mock up and before setting them permanently.. just finished squirting the top sides with 3 coats tonight but was getting kinda dark to see the spray from the hvlp so will have to give one more coat tomorrow.. of there is also 2" foam under the ply floor ..
