1708 on deck

Does that line-x stuff heat up and burn your feet in the summer?

Ed - I imagine the black and darker colors will, but the white or light grey colors won't. In the bay area, you won't be bare foot . . . the water rarely gets above 60 degrees.

As long as your fit is good, go ahead and glass the top of the deck ahead of time, and cover the plywood edges while you are at it. It is a big area to get glass down on , so having it out of the boat will be much easier. I fully encased my plywood floor in glass before install, and then just taped it in on the edge. If you sand/plane a 4" x 1/8" recess along the edge before you glass it, the installation tape will be nice and flat once installed.

Pete, Thanks for the reply, essentially I am doing my deck the way you did yours with the exception that I am putting a fuel tank hatch in mine. That's a good idea to fair the plywood before I glass it. I think it will save time in the end.
