the raging debate of marine plywood / fiberglassing / etc
hi all,
i've been searching through the group .. i keep finding conflicting opinions.. hoping i can ask my exact question and get an answer i just bought a 2003 bayliner 2150 classic (21.5 foot ski boat basically). the previous owner left the boat out in the sun/water/etc for 3 years without a cover!! the carpet is trashed. i ripped it all up tonight. low and behold, the plywood is rotten. question1) how do i remove the rotten plywood.. do i take a saw and just cut the wood out.. or is it screwed in somewhere.. do i need to be careful *where* i cut? what is underneath the plywood.. more wood (that is probably rotten as well)?? question2) i've read that if you fiberglass over plywood, sometimes the fiberglass cracks and lets water seep into the plywood and rots all over again.. ?? myth or truth? question3) so.. what i really want to do is have plywood and then a paint with sand in it to give a grip to the feet when walking.. and be done with it.. what plywood/paint/anything in between the two should i use? many thanks!!! |
