I'm building a Pygmy Coho and am prepping the epoxy for varnish. All is well with the boat with the exception of the forward end pour. the size of my shop and other logistical issues keep me from using the traditional up-ending of the boat to facilitate an end pour.
I'm considering building a small"form" in the bow to retain the dooky and then boring a hole in the center of the deck to inject the dooky and anchor the toggle rope. I'm thinking of making the rope part of the pouring process. This would provide an anchor and seal. maybe a knot in the buried portion of the rope. Ive been experimenting with using a monkey fist knot as a toggle and think it would be a cool look emerging from the center bow deck. The stern would get a similar treatment, however there is an epoxy plug here that would be drilled to match the bow.
No the boat isn't landlocked it's just impractical to move it at this point.
Thanks for the input. and have a merry (Holiday of your choosing)
