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.
A bit of overkill there. 3" thick? Sheesh.

Hey - find a mill and have them resawed.


Uh, this "deck" is a bit of cover for the anchor rode at the bow. It's
about 18" long, and maybe 18" wide at its widest point. It's shaped like
a triangle and is two pieces of maybe 1/2" pine support by a little bit
of frame. It looks original to the boat, which is at least 50 years old,
and has been living in a shed for a long, long time. The planks in the
hull are in pretty good shape, no rot, no cracks. I'm just messing
around with it at the moment.
