Dec 28. Fit and Fillet the Decks

Fitting the decks and the bulkheads is not easy (there it is again). They are cut oversized with a bevel and nibbled down with a skill saw a little at a time and then fit-checked in place until the piece fits correctly. At least 20 fittings and shavings were necessary to get the front deck right. The bulkheads are less sensitive. 

The rear deck fitted and ready for a fillet. 

The filleted front deck with sticks holding wedged tightly in place until the fillet cures. Glass tape to follow, just like the boat corner seams. 

View from the front of all the decks and seat backs in. 

View from the back. 

Next up is filling these new enclosures with foam. I'll explain more next time. The blog is now caught up with the actual work.
