Default double hull wth rot!

Hi

"Monarch Canvas" skrev i en meddelelse

Help!
I have run across an absolutley lovely 1954 Sparkman and Stephens 39ft
yawl.Double hull. Its one major problem is rot amidships from the shear to

5
planks down. The owner has tried to minimize the damage, but has deferred

this
too long. I am afraid about what could be cooking between the hulls right

now.
the hull is mahogany but I am thinking that marine plywood ripped to

planks
would be better. ANyway figuring on replacing the whole midship section,

does
any think I may be able to do this for around $10k US or less?


Just a detail -------- case you replace with max length plywood this could
be quite short "planks". Then if you make the repair like this, stay with
the boat a few years, how will you be sure such repair will make it easy to
sell the day you want to do that.
