Mike - if you are going to encapsulate the whole piece with cloth & resin and the ply is securely attached to the frame and coated, it will be strong as using pine for a brace. I am assuming that you are going to completely cover all your wood with glass on both sides. The cloth will add strength to the understructure.
The sketches you provided are great. What drawing or CAD system are you using?

no CAD system, pencil and paper.

the fiberglass won't stick at all to the presure treated at all.

I was going to offer my design services but you're more talented than I

I see you already found out about PT not good with resins... Don't know much about that but the CS guys are pretty confident that it won't work

You could laminate 3 pieces of 1/2" ply or 2 3/4's to get that 1 1/2. If on a budget you really don't need to get the more expensive marine or okume pylwood for that purpose. AC plywood will work just fine for that particular application.

When it comes to doing the cockpit floor which will be glassed over, many of the guys I know use MDO.

For more "important" and structural parts of the boat use the good stuff.

yeah i'll take it. i have to go pick up the bench seat in cohaset possibly friday i could swing bye then.

i've since laminated two pieces of plywood together to replace the presure treated. huge difference in strength with the plywood, plus it really soaks up the resin.

ok here's what i did.
got rid of the presure treated.
laminated two pieces of plywood together with resin then cut to shape.
then i used mohogany boards with okoume plywood in the middle. all resined together and clamped and screwed. the center one is triple thick. i figgured to support a small pulpet.
still mocking stuff up with cheapo pine as i have a habit of screwing stuff up.
almost ready to glass these supports in permanantly.

Mike - you are a craftsman. Looks real good from the photos. I think you added mucho strength to the structure by slipping the braces over the existing glass. Your transition inside as well as out will be real smooth.

sure i'll take the pulpit.. thanks for the wood too.
thanks for the bench seat too.

the last pic is just a test overnight. i'm gunna see if liquid nails will hold the wood to the glass hull just enough so i can lay the heavy mat over it. filling the huge gap with resin looked like a very messy job.

Looks great Mike

don't use liquid nails to fill that gap
use thickened resin peanut butter consistency, mix wood flour with resin to make the paste.

also be sure to sand off all paint and gelcoat, clean surfaces well for best adhesion.

you been busy

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

Mike West Systems 406 is a good product to use for thickening epoxy, there's also cabosil, milled fibers. US Composites in Springfield is the guy you want to talk with he can get you what you need and has great prices too!
