Deck beams & bulkheads!

Still going, though beginning to do the sealing up bit too. I have Bulkheads 1, 2 & 3 as well as the Transom all assembled, beveled & sealed on one side. Bulkhead 4 will be a complete rebuild because I made a mistake adding up while lofting. 

I am super happy with BOTE Cote epoxy at each stage, it glues well & with the Preservative added to the base coat it seems to penetrate the plywood quite nicely. Oh, by the way, for those considering using Construction Grade Plywood; the reason given against using this grade is the number of voids. Phooey, I've seen next to none certainly no more than Marine Ply. So with the ply sealed with epoxy, what's the problem? 

Good to see flooding rains gone which we had over the last two weeks. First day's sun today for soo long.
