Turning Over Pressure Wash!
I was able to move the boat closer to the back door so I could hose down the "Noodles." The boat is no longer resting beneath tree branches, so hopefully not too many leaves and foliage from the trees will fall in between the"Noodles." I tested the strength of the bond after applying the sealant and I have to say the "Noodles" are bonded tightly to each other, making the hull itself even more stronger. I flipped the boat over a few times as well as stood on it while rocking from side to side. I plan on hosing the"Noodles" down one last time before applying the last coat of rubber coating. I have to make sure that the bottom of the boat is well coated before I turn it over to finish working on the other side. I don't want to have to turn the boat over for any reason again once I start working on the deck. Once the deck is done I plan on preparing for a launch to test how well the boat floats. If the test goes well then I will finish adding the features such as seats, pedals and pedal wheels for doing a second launch to test the pedal wheels mechanism. I also have to create a steering mechanism that allows the boat to turn in different directions as well. I'm thinking some kind of turning fin but that comes way later after the first launch is successful.
