Thanks Bobber, but what is that black stuff?

If the boy is willing, he'll spend the weekend prepping the deck for an added layer of glass. The deck has been subjected to such abuse over the years that it is a mass of gel cracks, and it flexes a bit too much for my taste. The plan is to add another layer of glass over the entire upper part of the deck overlapping around the joint of the upper and lower deck. That will give us a solid surface to re-finish the deck as well as giving us a secure bond between the deck and the hull. Heh, it sounds good on paper.
