1978 Viking resto-mod

Quick update. The month of May was pretty crazy for me, so not much was completed on the boat. Progress is underway agin. I have the stringers pretty much finished at this point. I mocked up the footwell and forward floor and stringer. Also got the floor roughly fitted.

Wow, summer sure has a way of sucking up project time. Side jobs and such kept me away from the boat for another three week period, but spending a few days on the lake reminds me why I'm doing all this work. Any way, some more progress has been made since my last post.

Center stringers are completed.
The bow eye block has been replaced and glassed in.
Drain plug block is bonded to the hull.
Front bulk head is completely glassed in.
Front stringer is fit and bonding to the hull.
Foot well floor is fit and ready to go in.
The deck was test fitted to measure for the tow bar support below the floor and for a custom fuel cell.

Gel coat below the floor is finished. So I have now completed all work inside the hull below the floor.

Next up is setting the floor, footwell, and front shelf. I will be making a stainless steel plate that will be recessed into the underside of the floor to serve as a mounting/backing plate for my tow bar. I need to put that together and glass it into the floor before I can set the floor.

Looks clean. Did you just brush or roll the gelcoat on?
