Lots of progress today. The hull inside received its final fill coat of epoxy. Am not real happy with the final coat. I think I needed fresh epoxy rather than using up the end of the deck batch. It went on thicker than I would like. But no worries, nothing a little sand paper won't fix. Anyway, to the foot braces. You will see that the foot braces have been tacked in and clamped. Rather than use the screws to go through the side of the hull, we opted for a special bolt that gets, wait for it... EPOXIED (how'd ya know?) in place. Right now just tacked. Tomorrow will receive a full epoxy once over and fiberglass tape for ultimate strength. Installing the foot braces at this point makes for much less work than installing once the deck and hull become one. Which, by the way... is not far off.
