: Think I caught up this evening. I glassed the inside of the deck and put some
: 4" 9oz bias tape around the cockpit length wise and a piece cross
: ways in front and back. A heavy weight can do a pushup getting out of my
: boat with no problem!!

Darn, I picked a bad night to drink beer and watch TV!!

I did get the cockpit cut out and all of the strips cut up.

Have you decided on deck hardware yet? bungie loops, flush mount etc
I was planning to use the internal bungies for the hatches and haven't decided on the deck bungies.

I had a good laugh when I turned the deck over last night, I had about 5 epoxy runs that went all the way to the deck peak and stalagmited about a quarter inch. Should have gotten a picture for Spideys humor page!
