Foothold Question

[SterlingSilva]

Installed a set of trinity composites footholds on my sxi pro. Sweet and stout holds by the way.
So heres my question...

I used u.s. composites fasco 110 2 part epoxy to glue them in and they are solid. I even ran a bead around the entire foothold to transition the elevation change and to reassure that they are water tight.

Will i be sorry if i dont glass them as well?

By the way, the screws were temporary while the glue cured. They are now out and holes filled.
Thanks

I would put a couple layers of glass around the edge and pull the screws out.

You would be amazed at how much water can get in from such a little hole. If you want to delay refoaming then just throw a few layers on and it will give you some added strength.

I riveted mine in and left them. I also did a few layers of glass as well. Glass not shown in the pics

I would like to try those holds.

Yeah they are pretty sweet, and big. Lots of room for padding and turf. They extend almost all the way out to the side of the gunwhale.

I'd run a layer of glass across the tray and into the the bottom of the footwells as well....

 

[SterlingSilva]

Well I gave in to the concensus and went and glassed in the holds.

Very nice. Now don't forget to put thick underpadding in your footholds.

just made them for sxi too. easy to glass in.

Sorry for the plug. :dunce:

Thanks much!

That FFH looks badass! Was gonna do a front strap. Gotta think about it.

The holds went in fairly easy. The hull is primered and after a little more wet sanding I'll be laying some color.

I also shaved the fuel cap cavity up front. Heres a preview
Gonna do a build up thread in the near future once she's done.
