I didn't really. I opened it up and let it dry out for a while. I did an entire deck replacement on a 23 and this is kind of a "budget" build. The wood around the edges seemed to be pretty dry after it was opened up and left alone for a week.
Yes - those are the original top skins i glued back in. I cut into the deck about 1/2" and pryed the skins up, leaving them in tact. Before putting them back down i made sure to grind the underside and sanded with a 40 grit paper.
