I'm having a hard time sourcing composite materials local. Dont mind driving. Anyone know where I can find it around Columbia?

I had coosa shipped to me.....it wasn't too bad itself, but shipping was expensive.
I couldn't find anything locally either.

Sheep was it cheaper to have it shipped to a "commercial" address?

Any updates on this rebuild?
Jamestown Distributors or US Composites as your source for fiberglass/composites if you have not already found them
Just looking over this and wondering why there is a hole in the bulge area? Mine has the same thing and I’m wondering if that has caused the stringers to break down by allowing water to get back there and sit against the stringers.
I drain the bilge everyone I get out off the ramp, but it seems that every time I get home, more water has found its way back from under the floor. I’m wanting to redo my floor one day, can you seal that entire bulge area in, or is there some reason it’s open?

Small amount of progress. Honestly waiting on some cooler weather.
Duckz my boat was a center console. There was a piece of PVC that the steering cables ran through under the floor.

Interesting. I wonder why mine has that too.
Not on mine. It was just for steering cables. Could be for other boats.

How's it coming along? Im fixing to start my floor re-build in a couple weeks on my super v
What is your plan for securing the floor to the floor to the sidewalls ? I am going to tackle this project in the spring and slowly getting ready. Since there are no stringers on the edge, how do you secure the floor without having flex underneath? Once you lay the floor down, its not like you can lay cloth and glass it from underneath, so do you just lay cloth and glass on the top of the floor and run it against the sidewall ?

On mine I grinded the entire lip off around the edge. I poured foam in the bottom filling all cavities. Then ran a fat bead of thickened epoxy over the top of the stringers and along the edges where the floor meets the sides. Then another fat bead of thick epoxy all around the edge on top of the floor and then layered the glass tape up on the sides overlapping each layer. With the foam underneath there’s no flex. It’s unbelievably strong
If built correctly you should not have the floor flex there. To blend the floor to the side, grind down the edge, put in a fillet of thickened epoxy then tab in with 2 overlapping layers of 1708. Once dried fair with a marine fairing compound or Q cells mixed in epoxy.
You should have the underside of your floor glassed before you install it.
