Biscayne 22 by Bob Perkins 10
91. The front seats are bucket style, but built into the hull. My intention is for them to be removeable (w/effort). These are the seat bottoms going in.
92. Here are the completed front seats. These will be the permanent backs and bottoms. The idea is they will help make the seat rigid. The cushions will be mounted to 1/4" ply.
93. Here are the beginings of the ceilings. When done, I will round over the planks so thel look a little more like beadboard.
94. The frames I mounted the ceilings to are two laminated 1/4" plywood straps that hold a fair curve for the ceilings to mount to. The frames of the hull are used as guides - but were too difficult to mount the ceilings to directly.
95. Here is the front subdeck temporarily installed. Final installation included gluing the subdeck to the deckbeams and battens and securing with Silicon Bronze ring rails.
96. The cornerblocks are being installed at all of the cockpit corners.
97. I made a 6" radius template that I screwed into place and copied with a pattern copy router bit.
98. The finish covering board is only 1/4" thick. Here is outer blocking as per the plans to make it look like there is a nice thick covering board. Once the deck is in place, the sheer will be shaped to follow the contour of the hull and the 1" Chrome rubrail.
99. For the Covering boards, I layed a batten the full length of the hull, just touching the cockpit openings and made sure it was a fair curve. I used a micropinner to hold the batten in place (23G Nails). Next I shaped a section of covering board to follow the battten. Once it was ready - I resawed the 3/4" piece and surface planed them to 1/4". Now I have identical sections for each side of the boat. They are to be placed perfectly symetrical to the centerline of the boat. That way all of the inner deck planking will line up perfectly.
100. Once I got the inside profile of the covering board fair, I resawed so that they are perfectly matched left to right for the planks in the center of the boat to all line up properly. The coveringboards must be perfectly mirrored left & right on the centerline.
