I know what you’re probably thinking…
“Good Lord! Another floor post? Isn’t this project D.O.N.E. already?”
Alas it’s not. However, we are definitely on the home stretch now. As in, we finally have a level, solid floor for the first time in months. Wait… I take that back. We finally have a level, solid floor for the first time EVER since we’ve bought the boat. Perhaps the previous owners preferred the moon bounce feeling, but we do not. Let me tell you, it feels great to be standing on solid ground – err floor – again!
Let’s pick up where we left off, shall we? After my vigorous scrub of the floor, a damp spot revealed itself (not induced by my wash, mind you!). Matt began to cut out the rotten section of balsa, expanding from a 6″ x 8″ section to a 12″ x 12″ section. Sort of like marine gangrene. He dried it with acetone and filled the hole with balsa blocks, sealing it off with a fresh layer of fiberglass.
