Hello new to the site redoing my my 2nd tin boat. The plan is new floor, new vinyl floor, carpet,new seats,new paint. Any thought or helpful hints appreciated.
Nice progress today 2 new compartments cut in front deck and started to rework rod lockers.
If all goes well should have all day tomorrow to work on this as well.
Well made some progress today made a few new panels and shorten side rod box doors,added top rod box doors and added new storage in the floor.
Next will be cutting glovebox type compartments in gun whales and replacing plywood.
Well feeling a bit better and got back to work on the boat. Got new plywood cut and coated with spar urethane. Finished new aluminuim lids for new front compartments.
Next will be vinyl floor installation or gun whale glove box type compartments.
DrNip, They where made just like the panels I posted earlier. Measure lid size add 3/4 on all 4 sides then cut 3/4x3/4 notch on each corner. Bend all four sides down 90 degrees.
The trim was more challenging because the oridigonal pieces are "Z" shaped so the lids will have something to set on. So for the 2 new ones I added I took 2 pcs. Of angle and made a Z with them and took them to work and welded them togather. After final installation I plan to rivet them to the braces under the floor. Hope this helps.
Spent all day putting Nautolex vinyl on about half of the floor and deck pieces. Finished all the pieces with the wood now I have to finish the aluminum ones.
Thanks Big Wave
Well have been slowly picking away at finishing the vinyl installation. And tonight start putting carpet on some of the side panels.
This part of the project is taking longer than I figured it would.
The good news is 5 hrs of work tomorrow and I will be off until 2014.
The next step will be paint prep and paint.
