Last time we had it out on the water, we had a full tank, and we were getting a gassy smell strongest from passenger front.  Figured we had to track it down.

Fuel filler hose is cracked and leaky on CVX 16.  Anyone have a good source to get a few feet of that?

I got mine from Autozone...Napa, etc.

Topside with 3" tab all around glassed.  The fabric tab will get trimmed and glassed in when set into the hull.  Have to flip and glass bottom in about 45 minutes, so both sides get glass before hard cure or may warp.

Built seat boxes wrapping more composite honeycomb with glass and wrapped the the stacks with glass onto the floor.



Since the composite floor is light and not as compression resistant as plywood, we built 1/4 aluminum plates /studs to put under the floor to support the seats.

 

And installed from the bottom for the top plates/seat posts to mount

OK ...
We were wondering what you were going to do about seat supports ...
Looks like you have it all thought out !

I am happy to know your watching.  I will install the top side plates and seat posts today.  Then I think its ready to glass back into the hull.

3" studs in 10 x 10 alum plate sandwich from below floor through seat riser boxes.  11 x 11 1/8" plate on top and 1/4" seat post plates to distribute load over about 100 square inches.  Hope its enough.

Just remember that steel and aluminum are not the nicest friends. The tend to corrode each other.
I think this has become an addiction.

True. However in that application it shouldn't be a big deal. Fyi gooping em up real good with 'Loctite' etc will help prevent the electrolysis.

Weigh in time.  15.9 pounds.  Composite, Glass, Resin, 1/4" alum reinforcement plates, hardware installed.  Seems very strong.  Jury is still out, it still may not work, but as Tomas at Express Composites said, "This stuff will change your life".  I'm doing the math.

Stones

first time in 30 years I had a reason to move the landscape stones.  Used them to weight the floor to the strakes and center stringer so the 5200 glue can dry.

I did the same thing when pressing the riser boxes to the floor, but I only had 2 batteries around so after the risers, I was looking around for something heavy (aside from me) that was willing to sit there for 24 hours. Batteries are superior glassing weights, no doubt.

I've been reading that standard 5200 takes 48 hours to set and 7 days for full cure.  I think my plan to be done by Friday is going to be held up while the stones sit there another day.  Boo.

glassed in the 3" fabric tab surrounding the floor edge onto the hull Friday.  Dry now and ready for the carpet.



Question?   So do you use just regular indoor/outdoor carpet glue to glue the carpet?

These little black plastic buttons have a surface like velcro and are used to hold the center seat back in place.  Does anyone know where to get new ones, or have used an alternative successfully?
