Ok I have a question as a Fountain owner and what everyone always has said is a flaw in the way they were built (Including Glass Dave).

Did you glass any of the stringers etc before you started putting them all together? The though being IF latter water does start to find its way in the whole structure doesn't soak up the water like a sponge, it can only go to as far as the piece it started.

Yep all the pieces were glassed separately out side the boat once dried all edges were cleaned up then everything way installed and tabbed in. Once that cures then everything get wrapped with a few layers.

That is kinda the idea with a few other changes we are doing should all be laid out perfectly.
