The keyhole is pretty easy to plug up, line it with wax paper, milk jug will squeeze into the bottom, then a 5 gallon pail, or more milk jugs & pop bottles, etc...once it all hardens up, you can easily smooth out any rough spots.  Its thick stuff so its not going to just pour out any minor holes.
this material that i used ARJAY6011 will indeed pour out of small holes, i did not loose much out of the screw holed in the transom i forgot to tape, but i did have a small space i missed at the lower part of one of the gussets that was bleeding quit heavy, duct tape did fix that.

Note the leakage around the screw holes for the pitot and the speedo tube entry

so a quick recap
as stated we built all the forms from 7/16 composite material i had left over from the CV16V8
we tabbed all that in, then capped the open spots with biax and poly resin.
the stringer attachment and tabbing that is under the floor was done with epoxy.
i had this material left over from the V249 and i felt using under floor was "low risk" with regards to the fact that Poly resin wont stick to it.
i chose to terminate the stringer at a bulkhead aprox 12" forward from the transom (differing from the original design where the stringer runs to the transom)
the bulkhead is 1" composite and is 1" above the floor so it has more contact with the gussets for strength.
it was quite interesting using this pourable material and i feel like i would use it again, price wise it would be similar to using Coosa Bluewater at retail price, we used a total of 7 1/2 gallons (i purchased 8 gal, cost was aprox $600

Well done!   Nice feeling to know it will never rot again.    I assume its ok to drill into/through it after it has cured to put the pitot back in?

How much heavier is it compared to wood or coosa?

1 gal = 7.6 lbs, 231CI
0.0329 lbs per CI
1 sq foot of 3/4 is 108 CI
108CI = 3.55 lbs


3/4 4x8 marine ply 70lbs or 2.18 lbs per sq foot


Coosa Bluewater 26 is 1.65 lbs per sq foot

so i guess its kind of heavy, 2x Coosa
that is assuming that my math is correct

I think you can work at just like any other composite materials. supposed to wait two days before drilling or cutting

Added some small flotation boxes in the back, approximately 4 cubic feet. Also built a battery tray and some Gunnell storage so our junk doesn?t fly all over the boat when we jump wakes.
All of this was constructed using quarter inch honeycomb panels

Flying with three people in the boat!
As opposed to the speed test run where he left the wife AND the seat cushions on the shore. Lol

Pumpkins were a vinyl tablecloth. Worked great for a test fitting :)
