  • Hi John,

    Why flotation ? If the hulls are sound , you don't need it.

  • Andre, just to be on the safe side. Any deck flex due to those ports shown? John

  • John, No flex whatsoever, but I did a complete rebuild of my
    fore-deck in a epoxy/foam construction.
    Wich can be viewed here http://www.thebeachcats.c…nc=viewtopic&topic=15262
    Since the deck is not straight, make sure you get portholes
    wich open and close while they are a litle bend. They
    must follow the slight bend of the deck
    So, not the rigid ones. I scr**** up the first time icon_smile

    Grtz, André
