New Floor

doodlebug · #1 07-20-2010, 01:13 AM

Finally a new floor after 31 years and 7 mo. Sun afternoon
the process begun.She started life with twin 4 cyl volvos
when I bought her in 2006 they were bad so the decision was made to remove the volvos and replace with a bracket and
200 mercs transom was poured and bracket installed floor
patched to make due. The beginning of this year the floor got real soft except the patches. My new nida-core floor is now built,new gas tank built port side floor is now out
stbd side and gas tank removal tues (my postal friday)
pictures to come.

can't get to it. floor is installed and tabbed in
now just sanding and prepping for a good coat of fresh jelcoat then nonskid awlgrip finish.
