Here are some pics of our family boat "The Seaswirl" who's deck had gotten soft and questionable safety! It's been to the Farallones, and Salmon fishing up and down the coast, also Lake Trinity, Shasta, and Bucks Lake. It's a $2500 boat to anybody else, but we like it so here's the work I did over the summer:
An all carpet, non self bailing deck intended for light ocean and lake use, pushing through and spongy!
The process starting with Coosa26 bulkheads, and re-routing of fuel tank hoses around some "dead space" I found under deck I used for a new fish hold/ storage under:
Using "Marine Creations" prefabbed hatch, made flush with Coosa deck, glassed that in and made drain runs for gutter system, then started the glassing into boat process and starting of finish work:
Starting the Softsand process and where any hardware goes(seats, hinges,pedestal,engine box) will remain shiny:
My oldest testing the "Softsand" feel under her feet:
And all done! (Like a boat is ever all done!)
