Your a brave man taking on this project. I have no idea how to do this work. Like the others, I will enjoy watching your progress. Best wish for a good sturdy craft.

I bought my foam through USComposites http://www.uscomposites.com/foam.html but if you've got a vendor that's less expensive please share - I've got to order a few more gallons to finish my own headache.

I have a full day cutting wood and coating with epoxy resin to lay along the stringers. I installed them that night. I cut out and epoxy coated and installed all the blocking the next two evenings. Then coated all wood again today to seal all the screws/wood. I had to really pull the sides of the boat back to where they should be. It looks like they spread out a lot since the original blocking rotted!

I cut out all the floor pieces first so I could use all of the left overs for cutting out the wood for the stringers. I had coated one side with penetrating epoxy resin and tonight I laid them out in the boat and coated the other side.
I am taking the wood back out. I still need to hook up plumbing for wash down and install new bilge pumps before pouring foam then the floor can be glued and screwed down.
