Interior is taking some shape

Today we got the floor almost formed and it helped visualize the boat in a better way.



After we turned the boat and started with the inside, the first thing was to fix the supporting strips for the side deck.


The inner sides also need their supporting strips. The construction will be with double walls and air filled compartments for ensuring the enough floating capacity.


The transom also needed some more stiffness to carry the motor. These boards where glued with epoxy.


Ensuring that the fuel tank will fit into the planned compartment under the floor. 


After the supporting parts on the inside were ready it was time to seal all surfaces with epoxy. One learning was that epoxy could have been applied before the supporting strips where attached, it would have been a bit easier.


Following step was then to start forming the floor. Below you see how we planned the front part with the help of a model made of some strips.


Below the result of today's work. Tomorrow still some tuning to get the floor to fit as it should. Then the floor need to be sealed with some epoxy before it can be attached.
