[QUOTE="thill, post: 500284, member: 4972"] Did a little bit more work today. Bought a new sheet of plywood, and decided to make the front deck solid, instead of U-shaped. I'm very pleased with the cutout and fit. I made a cardboard template got it right the first time,. The edges are supported by the hull, so no additional supports are needed. I'm thrilled. The platform is 70" long X 65" wide. Very nice platform for a boat of that type. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Resized_20230630_214152.jpeg"]115441[/ATTACH] Getting the major stuff knocked out. Transom has been rebuilt, welding has been done, floor has been installed, front deck wood cut to fit. I have a lot of bolting and screwing, some painting, a lot of carpet to lay, and an engine to go through and then install, and lots of rigging and electrical before the first water trial. I sure hope it doesn't leak. (Being a welded boat, I'm not too worried about that) Every time I work on it, I get a little bit closer. [/QUOTE]
