Glued sole down and applied a few coats of epoxy to the bottom of the sole. I'll do the top when it's in the boat as the wife got back into town and wanted her half of the garage back! :lol:

Here is what I am thinking for a grab rail/mini console. I will round over the grab portion once it is glued together.

Started gluing grab bar cleats. PVC clamps work good for this. I also worked on the cooler from earlier in the thread. I forgot to take a picture of that.

BB, I've been toying with the idea of building a ply grabrail vs buying one for my FS14LS, I'll be interested to hear your final analysis when it's all done, if it's "well worth the effort" or "If I did it again, I'd just buy one" kind of thing. Looking good so far!

Was able to work on the little boat this weekend. Glued sole down and worked on anchor trolley attachment points.

Doing a little better. The medication adjustments kick my tail but I'm liking this last cocktail! Hopefully I can call in August for paint to float a boat!
