Before starting on the interior epoxy and varnish I decided to do one last thing. I extended my floorboards a bit so I made a couple of extra floor timbers to support them.
The Glen-L plans suggest that some extra supports be made at the end of the floorboards but they don't specify how to do it.
I took a look at the plans and realized I could get the necessary contours to add two extra supports by using the closest station forms as a start. After finding the nearest forms I traced them onto some cedar scraps and then hand profiled them until I had a nice fit that was level with the other floor timbers. Check it out above.
In the picture above I have the entire interior of the boat stacked up and ready to finish. It may be a few days before I have an update because of many coats of epoxy and varnish necessary for a hard durable finish but hopefully it will all be worth it!
