Finally got round to trying to fix MiniCup #1. What a mess. When I
built her I followed the directions and used mild steel screws. Of
course they have all rusted and rotted the wood around them. Any
advice on getting them out?
Even worse, the cheapo 3 mm bathroom underlayment I used has rotted in
places and although I can put in some better wood, I am not sure it is
worth it. Can anybody suggest a 3 mm material to replace the original
top decking that I can coat with 4 ounce glass?

Brunzeel okume is widely regarded as one of the best. I built a
bow/anchor pulpit out of it for my old boat and it turned out very
nicely. I'm still using scraps from the original sheet for odds and
ends.
