Replacing a deck questions?

[FLexpat]

FWIW I'm gonna do my 23 Sceptre I/O decks and try to keep the gutters. Here is the short version of my plan if it helps:

• cut the deck out 2" inside the edges, leaving the bottoms of the gutters as tabs on the liner,
• Pull the deck top skin
• Recore the deck outside the boat with Corecell and extend the edges out 2" with glass (finish the surfaces as much as possible while out too)
• Bond the deck back in on top of the stringers and tabs
• Fair in the edges
