C19 in Richmond, VA
Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
How are you going to seal this flexible rubber hose and stop water coming between it and the sole? Or am I missing a step/ something?

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Fair question. Rather than a single frame here, It will be boxed out with 2 frames spaced ~6” or so apart with a cap on them. 4” pie plate access panel up high at the gunwale to access the hose clamps at the fill.
That’s the plan anyway.

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
We spent our week in Hatteras, NC. We chased some fish and the sound, and drove to the tip of the island for a moment of solitude.
Returned to the C19 a little lost as to how to continue progress.
Staring down the prospect of buying and pouring and leveling more foam before making progress sticking the floor, I have decided to forgo foam for now, finalize securing and plumbing the tank, and stick the floor down over empty cavities. I will likely pour foam into 2" holes I drill in the sole before glassing it all in. So for now, the sole is dry fit and will be working to stick it in the week ahead.

Dan why put off ordering the foam. Order it today and you will have it Wednesday or Thursday and you won't have to worry about adding it through the holes and maybe adding to much.

Adding foam thru 2' holes wouldn't be my choice either. Seems like it would be hard to get an even spread. Sure looked like a nice red on that lure

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
I get the thinking, but I've been financing the build Johnny Cash style, one piece at a time. Monthly budget essentially, and need more epoxy this month. Also, I hate buying foam. Big investment, and it's all gone in minutes. Then the leveling which creates waste...
I may not even pour anymore. I have a fair amount in the bow and forward. At least pouring after the fact will save me from trimming the top of it.
I agree. Like most parallel paths, overcoming one challenge results in creating another. I think I can overcome this one with well placed holes, and ample amounts of material ready to pour.
This was the only fish to bite on that day. Slick calm conditions. It seemed like topwater would be a good choice. I love this pink Skitterwalk. It has been a producer for a while. 3rd set of hooks on this one, I think!

Nice trip Dan!!! Jeff
Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Dan I hear you on the funds point. But pouring through the holes is tricky. I would only pour 3/4 or 7/8 full. If you fill till it comes out the site holes, it will push up your decks as it expands, which is not good. It has a lot of force when expanding. As far as your cutting waste from the top, throw them in the bottom of the next compartment as filler. As far as where you are putting the foam are you following Jacques recommendation and just putting it in the compartments between the outside and the center compartments?
Well keep on going, as I think I have told you before I love the C19. Nice pics from the OB.
