Had some old plywood getting soft in the center, and decided to re-do
the floor. when we pulled off the old carpet which was weathered
anyhow, we found out that in the times past someone had repaired the
floor by cutting out a center section and replacing it with standard
plywood. Evidently it had held for quite a while but it's days were
numbered. besides it gave us a chance to inspect the stringers and
other bracing etc.

So, after thinking about the re-floor, we decided to not go with
standard ply because it's not weather resistant, or marine due to the
expense, so we settled on "DRYPLY"

A weather resistant plywood which has a lot of characteristics of
marine plywood but is more cost effective. Like $23.00 a 3/4 sheet at
Menards, and in stock too.

Regardless. It ought to last way longer than I'll ever have the boat.

It's 70 degrees as of so far, and rained all night and is to be much
cooler than it has been. Hopefully Jimmy and I can get the boat
flooring finished out today Carpet glued in, then I can start my re-
wiring before we install the seats.. Even with a box fan blowing down
on us, it's still been miserable working in the belly of that tub!


Not to worry, Tim...by your estimated completion date of 13 December,
it'll be nice and cool and you'll be able to try out the ice skate
attachments on the bottom of the pontoons, with the box fan providing
the necessary thrust. :)
