But it's looking good, Chuck. How much will it weigh when it's done? BTW, I don't think you can claim rookie status any more. Just sayin'... Dave

That Bracket is pretty sweet Strick! Do you have an idea of weight?

The serious look is AFTER an ice chest full of beer. We ran out just as we set the platform on the bucket BTW it was nice talking with you the other day. I will get a weight on it for you guys when it's all put together. It will get bonded to the tub with some "Potter Putty" (cabosil and resin) and glassed around the seams with 1808 so that will add a little more weight to it. I ran out of core cell so had to use some 1/2 " plywood squares for the coring on the swim platform deck. strick

Plywood? Really spectacular job, plywood notwithstanding.
Definitely Not a rookie. Keep up the great work captain. Vic

It's always an education watching you work Chuck. I'm getting jealous!

Fred-
The check is in the mail seriously if you can cut wood with a chain saw then you can make a bracket. Calculated cost for the big bracket is around $700 including glass, resin, partall, wax, clay, rollers acetone, wood for molds etc... A smaller bracket will be cheaper. Greg- After looking at the pictures of your house remodel... I'm jealous One of these days we need to hook up... heck were only 1 hour apart!Working nights and weekends when my day job does not interfere. Quick fair on the live well enclosure. I hate sanding and fairing and would have rather made a finished part for this application but it would have took forever doing the tooling for the mold so I am stuck sanding and fairing out what I have created. Soon I can spray it with primer and sand and fair some more!  Made room for the little boat in the shop and it is now on stands. It will not leave the shop until at least the out side is painted.    Plywood strips that will act as a shelf for the base that holds up the live well  Glassed in place. I still have to cap off the ends.  For the actual base I laminated a piece of 5/8" core cell on the flat table. To speed things up I layed up both sides and then covered it in black plastic and weighted it down till it cured.
