Forward bridge deck section

In the upper picture, you'll notice that the forward section of the bridge deck is absent.  The 13 inch x  12 ft. strip will eventually cover this section and form an area where the trampolines will attach. Although I didn't laminate the full 12 feet with one full length of fabric, I elected to use a few of my excess pieces of 24 oz. glass.  Doing so adds about a dollars weight in change due to the overlaps and extra resin but it actually creates a stronger part and I think it's good not to waste if you have the opportunity to make good use of excess material.   I then smoothed the entire piece down with peel ply.  The glassed portion will be on the inside of the boat.
