[Rhodes22-list] New Video - Cabin Floor

[Mark Olson]

Peter;

I have a 1983 I bought from the Port Jefferson Yacht Club.  I have IMF and 
top of the deck is in very good shape.

Below deck is different. I have 1 or possibly more slow leaks which I'm 
going to work on this winter and the cabin needs 100% rebuild.

Any chance I could come up to meet you and get some ideas/discuss my 
challenges?

I live in North Eastern New Jersey

Great video Peter. I enjoyed watching you build the floor as well as the 
tour of your impressive shop.

Last month I finished installing the floor in Agile. I used 1/2 in. plywood⁣ 
which I sealed with epoxy and then covered with sheet vinyl that I attached 
with contact cement. I also installed 5 large hatches to get below the 
floor. It makes for rugged, water resistant, non-skid and easily cleaned 
surface. I can only hope that the contact cement holds through the winter 
deep freeze. Of course it isn't very nautical but this time around nothing 
goes into my boat that requires maintenance. I have a classic mahogany boat 
where absolutely everything requires continuous maintenance and that is 
enough for me.

In installing the structure for the floorboards I used 3/4 inch angle 
aluminium that I bolted to the side panels. Along with making new stringers, 
that  allowed me to drop the floor about 1 inch from the way it was before I 
started. That is not much but at my height every inch of head room is a 
precious thing.
