So far so good... I'm mostly happy with the way the recessed deck plate turned out.
I still need to wrap the raw inner edge with a layer of tape to seal and reinforce the opening.
After that, I need to mark and pre-cut the chainplate slot before finally gluing the bulkhead into place and then finish up the filleting on the other bulkheads.
Once that is all done, we can finally begin removing all the screws holding the outer float half in place so it can be flipped over and positioned over the inner float half for bulkhead alignment and gluing together.

One of the things I'll need to pay more attention to next time is the fairing around the reinforced clamping areas.
I can fix this with a bit of lightweight filling, but it would have been better if it were fair to begin with. |
