Cabin Sole Repair

I cut a piece of 1/4" thick fiberglass paneling for my floor repair.  Here it is.  While it seems simple, it was a complicated cut and went rather well as I used a cardboard pattern.

Most of the day was spent pulling off the shrink wrap and finishing up emptying the boat, organizing tools and material in the back upper bunks, and locating some pieces of wood which will be used for floor support and as part of a mount for an autopilot.



The three holes in the middle are for access to the forward water tank.  The top will be one long piece of wood, which will rest on the three holes.  This panel will provide 1" of space all the way around such only one board will be needed to inspect the water tanks.
