Having put in a set of temporary floor beams to give us the height of the top of the new longitudinal bulkheads to be fitted along the two lower longitudinal stringers it was time to bilge paint out the space under the floor which will be fitted once the new longitudinal bulkheads are bonded and glassed in position.
A photo of the inside of the hull before it was painted.
Then the same space painted with its first coat of grey bilge paint.
The aft section of the inside of the bilge space after it was cleaned and made ready to be painted.
The same space painted
Usually for boats like this type of boat to to have cross over layers of veneers when the rest of the hull is double diagonal layers of mahogany veneers.above the floor space.
The layers in the bottom are cross over layers which are stepped along the hull. It is possible this was done to strengthen the bottom of the hull when it was used as a water skiing boat and the fact this as a 2 litre power unit on a a sterndrive.
