Floor cut out and underside and edges sealed with 2 coats of epoxy Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

All foam out. Starboard side poured with new foam. Decided to pour and work down high spots. Will then seal foam with epoxy. Didnt want to drill holes in new floor. Trying to stay at least 1/4" below floor with the foam so it can breathe as well as letting the floor be able to dry. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I bought new gas lines. Livewell is solid plastic. Drain molded in. Not really anything to seal on it. I'm not doing the front of the boat at this time. Floor is solid up front. Probably do it in a year or two. The foam that I'm replacing had some areas that were completely saturated. Mainly under the rear deck. The rest of the foam had the bottom soaked but not completely saturated. Went ahead and removed it Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Im also going to try to leave about an inch of space between the foam and plywood. This should help things breath. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Everything is ready. Old foam out. I do intend to coat both sides and all edges of the new plywood with 2 part epoxy . Pics later. Pouring rain. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Figures, been in the 80s here. Foam wont get here till end of week when temps are supposed to drop. Hopefully it will get back into 70s Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Checked with a local spray foam insulation contractor. They wanted $600 to spray. Considering my compartments arent that big I thought that was pretty high. I ordered 4 gals of marine foam from U S Composites. $134. Absolutely the best price that I found anywhere. Just about ready to foam Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I will do some core samples of the foam to see if it is saturated. If it is and I rip it out how do you get new foam in. Manufacturers put floor down then drill holes and pour in the foam. I could do it that way but it looks like it would defeat the purpose since the foam would once again be touching the under side of the plywood.

Havent been able to work on the boat due to monsoon weather. I like the idea of putting aluminim strips down for separation of the floor and foam, but 1/4" bar stock in the amount that I need is just too pricey. I'm thinking of taking composite deck boards and ripping them down to strips on a table saw to use as spacers. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

The foam was wet but I've pretty much got it dried out now. Left it open and had a fan on it for 3 days. Took a couple waves over the bow and got caught in a couple monsoon rainstorms. Carpet held the moisture in. Never had a chance to dry out. No more carpet Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I ended up getting Sherwin Williams 2 part epoxy. Great warranty, great price. Around $75 for 2 gal. Got it tinted light gray with non skid additive. Will see how it goes. If its too slick I'll put Merideck vinyl flooring over it. Should seal every thing well. I'll post pics when i get it done. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I have used fiberglass it's not cheap anymore. What kind of epoxy? Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Would garage floor paint or porch paint work to seal the underside and edges of the ply? Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I can screw down through the aluminum runners to hold ply and the vinyl. Vinyl is 1/8" thick. Would probably have to drill. Will probably remove about 10" of carpet and run the bed liner up the sides a little ways. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Home Depot sells 4×8 vinyl sheeting. Could I put this down over the flotation foam to rest the plywood on? Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Just removed the carpeting and found several areas that were rotten on the floor. Main floor was replaced 3 years ago with 3/4" marine ply. But they didn't seal it. Between the carpet and the floatation foam, new floor was already deteriorating. Anyone have any ideas as to what I can use to deal the underside of the plywood. I plan to use Raptor Bedliner on the top side but it would be too pricey to use on both sides. Any suggestions? Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

After the blow Friday was able to get out in the evening. Had multiple hook ups on meat in 85 to 190 fow. Lost a hog at the back of the boat. Broke off the hot meat rig on a screamer. Put one decent fish in the boat. Saturday ran a 300 cooper of a tx 44 with f/f took a nice king almost immediately in 85 fow. Running riggers 65 to 90 as we got into deeper water. Nothing. Divers with f/f dead. Ran a 10 color core on tx 44 with an orange dot silver spoon for steelhead. Immediately took a nice king. The 10 color ended up taking 5 kings. Ended up taking 2 steelhead on riggers after switching to spoons and another on copper with a spoon. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
