[QUOTE="mgros483, post: 357667, member: 14360"] A little more done on the boat this weekend. Put in some additional support for the deck using 1/8x1 1/2x1 1/2 aluminum angle. Turns out the quality control wasn't the greatest in 1958. My rear bench was not riveted on level. So, the deck wouldn't sit flat on the bench top, hence the angle on the sides. The angle under the center hatch is just for additional support.

Just an FYI for anyone working with the blue foam. I had some PL400 construction adhesive lying around and I thought I'd use it to hold my foam together...didn't work. Smelled like someone was burning plastic and it ate away at the foam until it dried. Needless to say, switched to some silicone after that.
