The new tank was a great feeling, kind of a shame to cover it in coal-tar! thats certainly a product that lives up to its name.shine wrote:Nice tank
Such a good feeling having a new tanks and lines
Divinycell would certainly lighten up the boat vs. what was there originally.Next question, I was thinking of using the scored divinycell to try and keep the bow that goes across the top of the deck. Sound like a good plan? Or just use ply? Or another suggerstion? For the cleats and all, I will be putting plywood doublers afterward. As best I could measure the factory stuff was 3/8" thick.
For rod holders and such, you really should insert the plywood with the foam core, before you glass over. The reason for the plywood it to give your deck more compression strength. If you just put them on underneath after glassing, then the top skin could still compress. Another alternative is to transition to singles skin and double the glass in those spots, that is what you do on the bottom of a cored boat in places where you have through hulls. You simply bevel the foam core back a few inches back from the outside edge of the hardware. You then use backing plates
No rod holders or anything here, it's just the very front deck, I'll transition for ply in place for the bow cleats, should be relatively easy. Thanks for the heads up!
