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" http://www.gp.com/build/product.aspx?pid=4882 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. :) -- LOL! That's a great idea! |
