Master Angler Help

I believe all MA's from the 70's anyway had the carpet. Mine does. The lip below the carpet which is like a baseboard in a house makes redecking these boats a little different. Mine separated from the hull on the entire port side. I removed the deck and side lip. It is attached to a plywood cleat running the length of the hull from which it had separated. The deck to hull joint was filled with a putty of some type but it just separated also. This allows water coming down inside of hull or deck washdown etc to go into the core. A weak desighn in my mind. I will install my new deck flush to the side of the hull without the gutters.
