: Hi Steve,

: That is one of the most beautiful decks I have seen !! I thought too about
: continuing the strips all the way to the bow .... But as the strips must
: be glued in place (to the upper bow)to fit properly it would not be
: possible to remove the deck from the hull for glassing the inside. I
: considered alternate methods of this ... but didn't think any would work
: out, so I too am having a separate bow deck. the tail deck too for even
: more reasons. Good luck !

Thanks, Where are you at with your boat? I went home last night a scrapped the first mini deck on the bow. The ROS got hungry! Anyway the second one will be better.( I Hope ) I got my steam kettle yesterday and made a mini steamer last night for making the tail mini deck. It looks like it can be somewhat challenging. I also picked up a heat gun so I can try that method too. I'll do some experimenting tonight after I do my taxes.The wife says I'll have to build 4 or 5 boats just to justify all the tool purchases. Ok with me! I'm planning on glassing the main deck Friday night so I can do all the fill coats over the weekend seeing how it suppose to rain.
