Deck Replacement 18 SF

[flyingfrizzle]

I think if you are doing spot repairs it works out doing a re-core by pulling the skins in the effected areas but if the entire deck needs changing I would think you are better off cutting it out. You will get a better end result and can make modifications to height if wanted or any other changes. I think you will end up with a stronger deck as well done new. It leaves an option to build on a molding table upside down out of the boat for a clean finish that dose not need as much sanding and fairing if you go that route. Also one big thing is you will get to inspect the under side. You can check on the foam under the deck for water, stringer tops to make sure they are sealed with out holes, check for cracks or damage to areas hidden by the deck. When the deck is out you will be able to access everything during that window. Give me a call if you need any help. Sent you a PM.

I hate when the site dose that. You loose all that you typed once it time out. I started right clicking the text and copying it prior to clicking the post button so that if it kicked me off I could log back in then just reply again then right click and paste the original text back with out retyping it. Maybe that trick will help.
