 Right,   But for the gel coat you need a mold.   I'd like to try it anyway, then I'll have a mold ( which will probably sit around taking up space! )

 Brian,I always thought those hoops were for a cover.  You can make the cover without making a plug.  I do it all the time, it just means you have to have to do some filler work, but that is easy.   Hank

 Hi All,                 I think I'm going to embark on making a fiberglass shell for the front part of my sub.   I should be hell bent on submerging at this point, since I'm so close, but that means a trip to the boat yard and more money spent on the travel lift and a tow down there.  I figure since I've got the electronics to re-do and a few other issues to deal with I might as well make the thing look a bit sexier.  Means I have to build a plug and make a mold and then do a gel coat finish for the fiberglass cover.  I also have to build an extra step just below the existing teak deck.  Also need an electric air pump for ballast on the surface, also need to re-do my HP air,  I want to get rid of that huge 300 cu ft air cylinder and replace it with multiple aluminum 80's  .  And I need to buy a HP compressor !!   I sure I probably for got something.
Brian
