Aft bottom sheet beveled.

Aft bottom sheet overhang matches non trip side.
Note inside overhang.

Aft sponson bottom sanded to match forward
bottom.

Pre bevel the aft bottom sheets (both
right and left) and carefully sand these
as they will be the finished ride pads.

The bevel should be at one end of the
sheet. Don’t worry too much about
having enough bevel as we will finish
sand this once it is in place.

Make sure that you have the correct
bottom sheet for the side you are
working on ( the wider sheet goes with
the wider bottom).
The sheeting is wider than the sponson
bottom and will overhang both inside
and at the rear.

Use your epoxy brush to coat all areas
that the sponson bottoms will touch.
Do one sponson. This will be bulkheads
2 and 3, as well as the inner chine and
non trip bottom.

Brush epoxy on the outer perimeter of
the bottom. Be sure you do the inside of
the piece (you did mark them as left and
right inside

, didn’t you?)

Tape the sponson bottom tightly to the
sponson. Be sure that the inside edge of
the sponson bottom has a 1/16
overhang using your 1/16 tool. Also
make sure that the bottom has the same
1/16 overhang at the rear..

Repeat for the other sponson bottom.

Allow to cure for 2 hours.
