I've emptied out my boat wwp19 and am cutting holes for storage like a
madman-found many possibilities for drawers, recessed shelves, and surface
shelves. Will also epoxy i/2 inch backing studs with 1/2 inch foam sheets
in between, covered with 1/4 inch mohogany plywood and then shelves, cell
phone/GPS holders, 1/2 by 1 1/2 " mohog. trim around counter top to go with
my mohog/foam batten ceiling last year in v birth- I will have a Flicka
interior yet. And hope to top it off with small reading spot light in fwd
v birth and a salty brass oil lamp (small) gimbaled or hanging with stays
from the ceiling. Also plan a mohog recessed tp holder and if I go
completely wacco a laminated wood floor. I was a shipwright for 3 years
and worked on old wooden fishing boats on the Lk Union Canal. But I have a
lot to learn and am open to any suggestions.
I still would like to know a way to get through the gel coat for epoxy
work (learned the hard way-does'nt stick very long on the gel coat.
I want to keep the dust from flying- disk sander is only quick way I
have found so far. Any ideas?

Maybe I can send pictures, hopfully I don't cut any holes that I may
regret when I launch next.
