1. Cut old top deck off by cutting all the way around, about 2 inches above the bond rail, using a sawzall or air jigsaw. Make sure you do not cut the firewall while doing so.

2. Once you have just the lip remaining, remove the rest by peeling it off. Use a chisel to remove the rest of the glue.

3. Once the old deck is off, proceed to remove all of the old foam from the pump area. A small chisel, cats claw or flat bar can be used.

4. The front lip of the nose will have to be cut off the hull. It will start at the front corner were where the turn begins on the rail, and finish on the other side.

5. You must also trim the firewall to allow the round nose top deck to properly fit onto the hull/firewall. You will need to cut about 2 inches off in the middle (just barely above the top short shaft housing insert) and about 1 inch all around the outer edges. Keep trimming the firewall until it properly sits on the hull. Use template as a guide.

6. You are now ready to build the new front lip with the front lip mold. Carefully install the mold under the front nose and clamp down properly. Lay your fiberglass (about 4 layers of 1 ½ mat will do) Once cured, remove the mold and trim and smooth out the edges.

7. You can now install any scupper valves or trim system lines in the rear pump area. Make sure every thing is properly sealed from the inside using Fasco Epoxy glue or 3M 5200 adhesive caulk.

8. Lastly, you are ready to bond the hull and top deck together. Use a good epoxy adhesive all the way around the lip of the deck and hull as well as in the inside of the hull and all around of the firewall. Be sure to fill all crevices around and on the firewall. Install the two together and clamp all the way around. Make sure there are no gaps between the hull and top deck anywhere around the bond line. This will ensure that your boat is watertight and strong.
