[QUOTE="bluegrasser, post: 202827, member: 4652"] Got a chance to do some major work this weekend. I held my breath, crossed my fingers and started measuring out the 3/4" piece of plywood I had purchased for my front deck section. Planning for the curvature of the boat's hull was complicated, but I was impressed with how well I did with my limited skills. I was also excited to see how well it attached to the supports I had installed underneath. It is rock solid, fairly level, and fits the space perfectly. My hatch cutout also worked well too. Not trying to gloat but I was a little amazed that it all worked as planned. Things rarely do for me - especially the projects in this 4 month long boat project!! Now all that's left is the carpeting. I'm a little nervous about that too, but I'll just take my time and follow the advice of everyone on this message board. Couple of pictures of the deck. Got the piece cut and rough fit [img]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_LZJ_ri6otDE/TdHMEQMJ5-I/AAAAAAAAB-U/FHiy4DqFLrk/IMG_0429.JPG[/img] [img]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_LZJ_ri6otDE/TdHMFORdz6I/AAAAAAAAB-Y/jbWTCqixsI0/IMG_0430.JPG[/img] Another coat of primer, then glued down and screwed down. Fits awesome.
