Remodeling the Flydeck

This is how it started......


Jon has one of two looks now........I can't decide which one I like the best!  ha!ha!

  

                      




I can't tell you how much fun we had fiberglassing and gel coating....HA!


                                                   



We didn't think we could do it justice......but we're so happy with our Awl-Grip and Non-Skid job.......





Now to arrange the furniture.....all we need is a cocktail!!!!

                                                     



Stay tuned for the installation of the control panel and the Bimini Top......

Remodeling the Outside Salon

Here is what the salon area started out like......

                                     



Jon started out removing the back wall completely (it was totally rotted) and rebuilding with plywood....




He ran into quite a bit of rot on the starboard salon area.....the port side wasn't too bad.....





Jon came up with, what we now call "oatmeal"....which consists of Epoxy Resin infused with fine Sawdust....worked like a charm....... 

                                              



After sanding & sanding  (Jon's favorite thing to do now...ha!ha!) and applying Epoxy glue, we covered everything with PVC board....

                                        



Then we painted 545 Primer over the PVC board and the Hull...... 



  
After taping off the area we were going to non-skid....we rolled & tipped Awl-grip......there is definitely a technique to this...
                                       
                        


When the Awl-grip was dry we re-tapped....applied gelcoat....sprinkled with non-skid....applied Awl-grip....





Added the railing and presto!!


              


Now on to the next project......
