It's actually triple thickness! Two 4mm glued together below the sole and then the sole above...

Hi all.
I started my fs13 back in April, got the foam in (I did not enjoy the foam) and then had to put it aside for while. Now I’m back, doubler in where the plans say, plus another behind it. Mine has the transom removed and Is solely a SUP.

I’m about to glue the floor/deck down, anyone use west six10 for that? How much regular epoxy did it take?

It looks so nice with the foam covered up😃.

Thanks!

Ben,

My wife and I do a lot of SUPing and a lot of SUP fishing and I have considered building my own sup. I like your adaptation of the FS13 and am very interested to hear how it paddles once complete.

On the Six10, here's a cheesy caulking caclulator: http://www.csgnetwork.com/caulkusagecal ... &length=36. Looks like a 1/4"X1/4" bead will get you almost 25' per tube.


Nice work and good luck!
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.
