Question ..are u gonna put gelcoat down in the lower part,,where the drain tubes are ?? Just because glass is not waterproof ..to keep it from fouling !?
Before u stick the foor back in ??!

Just a thought ??

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

No Scott. No gelcoat. I am using epoxy. I was careful not to grind and expose any glass down the center. On the ends where I ground I will brush on some epoxy. Like in the holes where the raw glass is exposed.

I know that is how Skater does it...

[DAREDEVIL]

Oh. got ya ..i thoguht its reguar resin you are using...Sorrry !!

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

AFR ole friend i would debate that with you in a heartbeat ..for the pure fact that Jim went with the blue water series which is the best that Coosa makes for structural integrity and lighter then PLY and if he would have went with something lighter such as Nautical or any other product he would not be getting the strength that is needed for is type of application and besides the product that he went with is top notch all the way and will stand the test of time ......forever

[afr]

arty i never put them to a scale but the coosa is the heaviest of the group and the strongest to i wont despute that it is also the one with the most densitiy to
i just notice it when i grab up a full sheet of 1 1/2 vs the yellow stuff

Scott , i always try to recomend Coosa bluewater 26 for all of the same reasons you have mentioned for the pure fact it has a very high strength to weight ratio , will never rot ,density of 26 pounds per cubic foot and 30 % lighter then plywood . Scott , its all good and sometimes i have a tendency to always stick with a product that is still light but gives twice the strength . Scott glad to see you on board and Happy Holiday ............Artie

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Spent a few more hours this morning.. Too hot, dripping sweat like I 've been hosed down.. Got fabric cut for some am wetting.

[afr]

yes sir arty you know it bro happy holiday back at ya
im firing up the grill later got some pork chops and veggies with cold beer and the 600 on the box


ill ditto that jim its as hot here in fl to

[Offshore Ginger]

Jim & Scott it is hot here also around 80 plus but with very little dew point which seems very nice great breeze coming of Lake mich and Mac which is a small lake that goes out to the big lake and the bad thing about the Temp right now is are pool is only 62 % and the good thing is...... we dont have the air on today. Jim i will call you tomorrow before the start of the work week and may both of you have a great weekend with GOOD FOOD , BOOZE , & SEX or which ever order they come in because life is to short not to enjoy .
