[QUOTE="hercdrvrwo, post: 323647, member: 11885"] Sorry I haven't been updateing this -- We had a large exercise and now I am concentrating on my boat so it can be ready by Teal Season 5 Sept - 26 Sept. So there are going to be a ton of updates in installments so here they go. So the next step I took after getting the boat all cleaned up and electrical run was to bring it back to my Father in Law's workplace and start working on it there. We got in there and scaled out the Floor -- MDO comes in standard sized sheets and I couldn't do the entire floor with just one sheet so we picked where our seam was going to be and started scribing the boards to the inside of the Chine. How we did this was: 1. Took two long pieces of some ol 1/8 inch ply and scribed them to the Chine a. Scribing takes time -- don't rush it. Do small sections at a time and be ready to start again -- thats why its good to make the template = more work ... better quality. b. Make sure you keep your pencil and scribe at the same angle as you drag the scribe across the curve of the boat. 2. Took another two pieces and fit them Perpendicular 3. Took hot glue and glued the four corners together 4. Then took it out and lined it up on our two sheets of 3/4 MDO 5. Cut out the pieces and dry fit them. I took those pieces back home and started my 2 Part Expoxy regime on the floor and the transom. [/QUOTE]
