Now that the boat is right side up, a bunch more jobs can get done. First the cabin stringers went on (same process as the hull), then all the bulkheads and ring frames were faired flat (just like the hull), and deck beams were installed. Finally, the 9mm plywood deck was epoxied and screwed down (just like the hull) EXCEPT these areas are much smaller and I am more efficient since I have done this work three times.
With the deck down, it received the required layer of epoxy and cloth. Also, most of the interior was sanded, sealed with epoxy, and some of the bilge areas received primer and paint.
