Yeah the foam will be sealed. I might even go ahead and put a layer of fiberglass epoxy resin on it.

It shouldnt push in. The deck should be pretty thick by the time I am done. I will have a lot of foam built up in the hull.


Did you know?

What kind of adhesive are you going to use?

For the deck and possibly the outside, you might want to consider skining it to aleviate potential damage from beach rocks, shoes, etc. Maybe some plywood for the deck, some kind of laminate for the outside (I guess the fiberglass would work there). Once you skin foam, its dang tough.


Losi 8T 1.0, Savage Flux - XL style, LST XXL, Muggy, 3.3 E-Revo Conversion and sitting outside 425hp, 831 Tq Dodge Ram Turbo Diesel. It SMOKES
