The fore deck is looking good. The screws w/fender washers as a temporary fastening method is my favorite. Don't forget to inject the left over holes with epoxy before the seam fill. Keep it up, that is certain a worthy craft for restoration.

Looks very nice Pete. You are doing a stellar job. Keep up the great work. I love seeing a true classic being saved from the bone yard.

Re: Frisco Flyer re-build
There had been a lot of water damage to the interior requiring the hull interior to be gutted and all but one bulkhead replaced. This gave me a lot of practice with the "Tick stick".The stuffing box was almost impossible to access so I installed an access hatch in the rear floor of the cockpit.

The Atomic 4 was in bad shape but this didn't really matter because I wanted to re-power with a beta Deisel anyway. The engine was installed on two heavy teak members under a hatch at the forward end of the cockpit.
