Unfortunately the project got stalled again. I wound up having to doa head gasket job on my 2006 F350 6.0 diesel. That took up the few weekends I had free to work on the boat. I have all the decking carpeted and just need to screw it all down. But now that Winter is just about here I will...

Carpeting done on all the fixed panels. I did not do any hatches except the full rear hatch because I want to make sure they fit properly with the right amount of clearance. I am going to wait to carpet the hatches until I get the fixed panels installed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The deck parts all layed out to keep the carpet gain oriented the same way. All the pieces of carpet cut out, rolled and labeled. The left over and tools used. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

120 square ft of carpet, glue, spreaders and staples ready to go. Hopefully I can start tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Painted the bottom side of the hatches with a charcoal gray spray paint after a light sanding. Next is carpet! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

3rd coat is complete and drying. Carpet is next. Can I paint over the Helmsman Spar Varnish? I was thinking of painting the underside of the hatches with a gray paint to match the carpet. This way it would look a little better when a hatch is opened.

Third coat in progress. I hope the rain holds off until I can finish and it dries.

Second coat finished yesterday afternoon. Third coat was planned for today but the weather is not cooperating. If I do not get it done today I will have to wait until Friday.

First coat complete. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One coat one on the top and 3 sides of each piece. I should have all sides with one coat before the end of the day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is a close up showing the detail you are asking about. I cropped an old picture from 2017 so hopefully it is clear enough for you to see. The floor joists are cut at an agle to closely match the angle of the floor rib, but not touch. Then it is supported with a short piece of ange which...

Plywood cut. It was a long day. I was able to get everything cut from three sheets. And the floor is one piece. I used 15/32 RTD. By itself it is flimsy but once cut and supported by the framing it is great. I have a gallon of helmsman standing by with a natural bristle 4" brush. Maybe this...

I would take the framing out and wire wheel it. Prime and paint it with a quality coating. Put it back in and start foaming and decking. You could build any benches you would want.
