Tin Boat Rebuild continued...

[stalker14]

I finally got around to building and installing a front deck on my Jon Boat project.

About 20 years ago when I rebuilt my old Cobia I did this in the non-skid sand on the deck;

So I decided to do something similar to my Jon Boat just for fun. After I cut out the plywood and I epoxy coated it I got it ready for the sand non-skid surface and I needed a model for my design;

All sketched out, I am no artist by any means but what the heck;

Cut out;

More pictures....

Some details added;

Epoxy and sand;

Tape removed before epoxy sets up fully so I won’t have to use a chisel to do it;

Epoxy applied over the sand after a good vacuuming;

All done glued and screwed into place, not to bad for a jon boat;

Close up;

Personally I like it. It is always interesting to see folks take pride in their projects and do the usual in an unusual way to make it just a little bit nicer. Good job and looks really nice... Thanks for posting your ideas...
