As you can barely see the new bases are set in place and epoxy gel was added to almost all edges where they meet the boat. I had a hard time getting it all but as it is dry now I can freely move in and finish this up. I am a little wider than 16 and 1/4".
The board near the top rear is a temporry brace to be sure it is straight and the correct distance apart.
As you can see the plywood is not sealed yet. I will seal it up prior to installing the foam that is needed.
