Folks, a buddy is considering a late-sixties Triton with a really soft
fore deck and side decks. He's trying to get a rough idea of cost/
time to have some yard do it, and I'll appreciate any information or
experience you might be able to share. Its the plywood core that's
bad, and I know that the pro's like to get at the problem from above,
rather than fm below. (I guess they're comfortable with the re-
finishing task, while us amateurs are scared off by the prospect.)

Related to this, am I right in recalling that someone makes/sells some
stuff for this job by the square foot? Any info? Thanks, all.


You might want to ask this question on rec.boats.building - many
experts there on this sort of question.

The main issue that I see is that boatyard work of this sort is likely
to cost more than the boat is worth, possibly a lot more. At $85 an
hour it doesn't take long for a project to hit the 5 figure mark and
the boat is worth considerably less.
