Glass over the foam to form the recess. I've found that I need the equivalent of about 6 x 6oz glass layers to get the stiffness I want. Use scraps for the intermediate layers. In this layup I used one layer of 10 oz and about 5 layers of 6oz.

Pop the fabrication off the mold, and hack out the foam. The remaining foam can be dissolved and scrubbed away with a bit of acetone and steel wool.

Cut a 'preliminary' hole in the deck to help center the recess fabrication, which is slid fwd via the cockpit.
