Great job! I just recored the floor in my Boston Whaler with Coosa, West System epoxy and 1708. Coosa Composites recommends treating Coosa board like plywood for marine applications in that they recommend glassing both sides with fabric and resin prior to use. I did that even though I had the original floor skin on one side(better adhesion). In your case it may not matter a whole lot. Just an observation.
I've really been enjoying this series. I hope to one day do a boat restoration myself, and watching your techniques doing the glass and setting up the clamping for the transom is the kind of information you don't readily find. Thank you very much for documenting this!
Thanks Wayne, glad you enjoyed. When I make a statement it is a absolute, like carved in stone. Until I change my mind. And this time I did it without my Wife's help!
I'm more of a skilsaw man. Lol. I'm thinking that should be on a t-shirt. Enjoyed your videos so far (up to #14) and looking forward to watching the rest. Hope to see your channel go from building a boat to fishing one of these days.

Thanks Man!
I have never seen the info on glassing both sides of the Coosa before installing but it makes prefect sense.

Thanks Dave. Kind words keep me going. Good luck with your goal.

That's rhe smartest transom clamping I've seen so far! Nice job!

I am sorry you are confused, I know just how that feels. Anyway, thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!

So much for holding off and leaving the transom open for easier access. 😁
Turned out great.
Thanks Wayne, glad you enjoyed.

Thanks Tim
Fishing out of this boat is something I am looking forward to.

Gator board is another coosa competitor.
Thanks, might help the next guy.

Looks good 👍 What kind of resin did you use on the new glass poly or epoxy?
Polyester from Advanced Plastics in New Orleans. I get it from New Orleans because no one sells it here.
