Installing the new deck was a long and challenging project for us that we tackled over the winter months. It's taken us quite a bit of time to edit and condense this video into something digestible because there were just so many little side projects to complete this very big project. We are working on catching up with the next few videos right now, so stay tuned for more soon!
100% I have to remind myself often that the people who get professional results are the professionals who have done that thing many many many times ,, it's fun watching you learn thru such a big project, you're perseverance is inspiring 👌🏼
New to me, as well! I guess I did something similar with my little stitch and glue 12’ skiff, but the glass was optional. I used it, anyway. My kit manufacturer recommended 2 layers of 3” glass tape (I think just 6 ounce?) to tab the sides of the skiff to the bottom. I didn’t use any mat. I ended up skimming with fairing compound and sanding. Not fun, but good result. And good was something I had to get my head around, like you were saying. Really loving this series.
looking back now, 8 months since this was filmed, we were definitely being hard on ourselves. Because this was all new to us, we didn't realize that the fairing and sanding that would come a few weeks later would fix/hide the mistakes we had made. Happy to report we ended up with fantastic results on the cabin sole! Looking forward to catching up on the videos we still have to share, thanks for following along!
I know the TH-cam videos take a long time to edit and film, but they are SOOO good!. I hope you plan on bringing the boat back out west, plenty of room in the the field to store it and a great spot to launch in Petaluma to head down the river to the golden gate!
Thanks so much, Mark! Can't pass up an invite to come hangout in Petaluma again! We've been super busy with work, so a little behind on the finishing touches of the boat right now, but we'll be seeing you sooner than later I hope!

You should have left a pipe in the bottom to allow water to drain to bilge.
