So for year 1 on the holes in the deck and cockpit sole I am enlarging the screw holes, digging out damp balsa, filling with great stuff expanding foam (just tiny amounts), and capping with water putty/ PC11 epoxy putty. The PC11 is MUCH easier to work with. Like bondo in consistency, not clay. Water putty is too firm, in my opinion.

Then vinylester barrier coat from duratec, then gel coat, then kiwi grip.

Plus nut plates with captive nuts for the 9" base Todd captain and fighting chairs. 6 on a 8.25" bolt circle. Looks like 1/4-20 or 5/16-18 will do.

Plus some Seadek for the engine cover.

I just started putting all the rehab/mods in a separate thread for the boat. Now named Bass Relief. The thread is here:
