Subject: TWL: Sea chest - conclusion
From: Walt Kazmierczak (nowakezone1@XXX.XXX)

A BIG thanks to all who responded both on and off list to my sea chest
question. Looks like I will be building about a 12" square form with a
flange at the bottom out of plywood (single engine), probably covered with
wax paper or some such stuff. Then build up 1/2" to 3/4" inch thickness
with epoxy/cloth, the good stuff.
My two remaining problems are (1), estimating where the water line will be,
however I can make the sea chest way tall and cut it shorter if necessary
once in the water. And (2), convincing the Admiral that I really do need to
cut a 12" hole in the bottom of the boat. I'm still working on #2!
Thanks again, you are the greatest!
