You guys may remember a post I did a few months ago my other boat is broke. The foam over heated in the sun under a cover expanded and ripped up the deck. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid26/p3ceaeaa23f209af23a541c3cc9325d40/fd82a07b.jpgWell repairs on PAS DE DEUX are well under way,…………Open wide and say ahhhhhhhhhhh. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid36/p5a4cb12cbdb5a905625a90c43dace772/fd26059e.jpgI got all the foam cleaned out ,put in a extra deck beam and I will add a inspection port in the bulkhead
The tricky part will be getting it all back together and watertight with out being able to get under the deck
To epoxy it. Maybe if I turn the boat over I can work through the inspection port. The other boat I’m working on FLOOZIE is coming along well also. I didn’t post a pic of her because she hasn’t changed much . I’m just in the process of covering her with 10 oz glass cloth and fairing her up,so it’s just amatter
Of smear on the goop and sand it off, smear it on again and sand it off again. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid36/p0bff16a2731a79105d4f0a6c43969334/fd2605a3.jpgOop I got the picture in the worng place owell at least I got them all in this time .........you guys keep building ... Phil

Videoguy, are you saying that the foam expanded, after being sealed up, while sitting in the sun? Enough to tear up the decking? Splain it to me again.

Yep Stan thats just what happend . Imade the mistake of puting a clear plastic cover over the boat to keep the rain out. It must have gotten darn hot under there the foam was in a air tight
compartment. So it just pushed the deck up about
2 1/2 in . I aint gonna do that again. ........
Keep building ..... Phil
