Bondo? I don't think so.
I agree with that.
Ask the guys on rec.boats.building, someone will have a good
suggestion.
What kind of boat is this?
It's an old rowing dory. The hull is in good shape, the small forward
deck looks like pine. I might remove the deck entirely, and replace it
with a couple of pieces of 1" oak I have in the garage, or buy a nice
piece of marine ply.
Ahem...
I happen to have in dry storage, 12 pieces of 3 inch thick, 24 inch
wide, mostly clear pine which would be perfect for that project.
You'd have to resaw the planks, but they would be perfect.
I'll let you have them cheap.- Hide quoted text -

Wow, 24 wide, clear, air dried? I bet it was. Man I think I'm gettin'
a hard on. Wonder if you could even replace that at any price now
adays.
Well, it can be done, but it's hard to do. You can get custom millers
like Hull Forest Products over in Pomfret to find some for you, but
it's not easy.
I bought them about ten years ago for a boat project I wanted to do -
build a Swampscott Dory, but I became involved in a different
restoration project and just never got around to it.
Forgot to add that they are twelve feet long.
