Eventually I added outriggers so that the boat would be stable with the dog in it.
This system worked well and the boat was fast.
But after a couple of years, the RevolutionPly flooring underlament became saturated at each penetration.
The discoloration at the saturation is unsightly.
But worse, the RevolutionPly is soft and spongy where it is saturated. The fiberglass set in epoxy over the RevolutionPly is sound but I can feel the soft spongy mush beneath the fiberglass.
This compromises the structural integrity of the boat.
The clear pine trim is sound but the RevolutionPly is mush...
...around each penetration.
And at every interior connection, the RevolutionPly is delaminating.
So much for this experiment.
But it was fun.
