Couldn't but notice the nice pronghorn mount. Shame to relegate it to the garage
Go Noles!
Thanks.
Yeah, it is kind of degrading a bit. I had another and had to throw it out it was so bad. The taxidermist hosed me they were quite a few years old though.
Instead of recessing a cooler in the middle seat, why not just make the middle seat a cooler? The entire middle seat would probably be around 200+ quarts, so you wouldn't need all of it (1/2 storage and 1/2 cooler?) I built a coffin box with 2 layers of 3/4" blue foam for my OB19, and it'll hold ice for a week in the summer. For mine, I used caulking to glue 2 layers 3/4" foam to the sides, door skin over that (1/8" ply), then filleted and taped corners and used 6 oz fabric over everything. It's held up great after 5 years.
I have a question, when I was flipping the bottom panel this morning to tape the other side, the side that was done made a cracking sound and the panel partially folded. It did not separate. it is still intact and I just taped the other side. Should I grind the tape off of that side and redo, maybe put another layer over it or is it ok?
Wish I had an answer for you but I don't know for sure.
You may get a faster answer in you repost in the Board index ‹ Plans and Building ‹ Power Boats section of the site.
try to get some glue mixture between the ends of the panels as well, that might help. It sounds like the fiberglass was bonded well but the ends of the panels let loose from each other.
