The beginning stage of interior cosmetic work is to build panels that hide the interior surface of the hull. Using 100% fiberglass for this work to guaranty a long no maintenance life span.

I would have used that mat that was hanging over to epoxy it to the hull with instead of cutting it off. I'm really liking what you're doing here. It is very close to what I had in mind for a boat project that I am working on and really informative to watch you go first.
Thank you for the idea on how to cover my fuel fill hose where it goes under the deck. I think the water that got under my deck that rotted my stringers came in from this area before.
Yes I know you have long since completed this project, but you are right. With anything, get a starting point then you can adjust easily. Because you have something to lean on literal and figuratively speaking!
Steven Agree! Unfortunately the mental gremlins of getting started keep a lot of folks sitting in a chair watching others fumble around on You Tube. Barry
Good luck with your project! A little tune my wife wrote the lyrics to and our talented, but retired, semi professional singer daughter in law did the performance.
@@barrylukebuilds7894 It is really a great song. No wonder I couldn’t find it. If you are close to Lafayette, I know some pretty good talent that could belt that song out. I loved it enough to try to find it. Your videos are giving me confidence to make the first cut after I figure out the gas tank. There is a newer vent for the tank so I hope it is a newer tank too.
