Looks great, did you fiberglass over the wood on the deck? Where did you get the foam mix and how much was it?

[strega]

Yup. I put 3 layers on the edges and one layer of fiberglass over the decks and then sealed it with 3 coats of rubberized roofing. It ain't gonna get wet......lol. I have a buddy that does spray foam on the side, $30 for the foam and some beer to spray it. When the foam expanded and cured, the hull was hard as a rock. We also added extra foam to every nook and cranny, so it should be unsinkable. Don't plan on finding that out though. We added a full transom 1.75 microlam, bolted, fiberglassed and sealed. This boat should be good for another 35 or so years.
