So jealous of where you are at with your rebuild. Can wait to see the seadek installed.
You wouldn't be jealous if you saw the balance of my bank account haha thanks CoooseQuote:

Beautiful stitch work sir! In my opinion that is going to be nicer than a new boat do I wouldn't too feel too bad about the bank account unless it reads -$107,000 like it would for a new Supra!

Captain chair looks great. Hard to get the vinyl to stretch just right and lay flat.
Thanks! That's what I'm going for! Good point, I'm really curious what I'll be able to get out of itQuote:

Definitely looking really good. Nice job!
Any updates?

School has been kicking my ass so I haven't had much time to work on it. I was having trouble getting her fired up the other day. We found that the fuel filter/ water separator was clogged and restricting flow. After bypassing the filter it starts up and runs like a charm! Hopefully there will be some water in the next pics!Quote:

I've mentioned installing "seadek" in the past. This is what I really meant, buying 3 sheets of off brand Eva foam flooring and routing it myself. This method will cost me $320 where as seadek would be in upwards of $1,300. This is a trial run to make sure I would get clean cuts and it turned out AWESOME!!!

Are you just free handing with a router?
Nope, I was going to do that until my school purchased a CNC router. It's only 28"x18" so the larger sections will be tricky. I'm using solidworks to make the patterns but any CAD software could be used.Quote:

Hey Lively! Do you have an issue with the location of the passenger side window? My window is cutting into headroom for the passenger seat. Could be dangerous If I don't pad it.Quote:

Yeah I remember you telling me to make it lower but by that point I had already made the seat frame. I'll try a headrest firstQuote:

Thanks! Just wish I had access to a 4'x8' so I could do it all at once. The one I'm using is only 18"x24"...Quote:

I kept that in mind when making it. It's pretty close to the original size. The flooring pads may have been misleading because they were cut larger than the platform to wrap over the back edge. Check out the newest picsQuote:

Reverse engineering the boat floor was a tedious process! More custom routed "SeaDek" coming soon
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have a 1985 Sun Sport that has bad stringers. Does anyone know of an outfit that could do the job? This tread has great info and enough detail to convince me that I shouldn't attempt the project myself. The boat is in Wisconsin. Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply. I’m not sure of anyone around there, but you’re making the right decision by having it done! After calculating time and materials I might have saved a grand. However, I didn’t have an interior or existing wiring to reassemble afterwards. That would make the job all that much more difficultQuote:

Keep going! I’m envious of all the shop goodies you have access to.
