Panel Cut Out and Fitted

Today, I cut out the panel pieces and fit them to the cabin front, quarter panels, and side panels. I don't know if I like the vertical piece that vertical. I think I would like it more tilted, but I will see soon and I will try to tilt it a bit by sanding down the horizontal piece.

Side Decks Taped

Today, I fiberglass taped the side decks on both the left and the right side after adding a fillet of epoxy/wood flour. I also filled the area between the front deck and the side decks to make a smoother transition once it cures and is sanded down a bit.

Also filled the holes on the interior right side and left side where the screws held the side decks into place. They will be sanded down and then the entire interior epoxied one more time before sanding and painting.

Cabin Top Screw Holes Filled/Transom Final Shape

Today, I sanded the transom to the final shape and applied a layer of epoxy to the exposed edge.

I also removed all of the screws in the cabin top and filled each one with non-thickened epoxy using a toothpick and then put a portion of a toothpick that was cut to size for each hole inside the hole. I let that set for about an hour then filled the top with thickened epoxy using wood flour.

Cabin Top Epoxied/Side Decks Final Fitted/Transom Cut Out

Today, I spent the time sanding down the sides of the cabin top to the sides and then epoxied it to the beams and the cabin quarter and front panels. I also final fitted the side decks and temporarily screwed them to the cabin sides and then removed them to epoxy in. I also marked and cut out the transom to the preliminary shape before sanding it to final shape tonight.

Fiberglass Seams Sanded/Cabin Top Trimmed

The last few days, I trimmed the cabin top to the side measurements. Today, I sanded down all of the previously fiberglassed seams, as I don't want that in the way after I epoxy down the cabin top. If I waited, it would be very hard to sand down some of those areas.

4 hours

Cabin Top Fitted

The cabin top was fitted into place and screwed down, then marked on the bottom side to match the sides of the cabin.

I also applied another couple of layers of epoxy on all of the fiberglassed seams completed yesterday.
