A friend removed the teak deck on his Force 50. Once he got the teak off he
found large sections of rot in the plywood core. Short (very) version is he cut out the rotted wood, epoxied in new and covered with glass and epoxy resin, laid out drain lines with tape, non skidded the rest and then painted the works. Keep in mind the Force 50 is a Taiwanese boat and the core plywood was crap to begin with. You may get by with epoxiing about a million screw holes and not have a rot issue. You'll probably still need to glass the deck as the layer above the core is usually thin (I believe). MMC "Jim" wrote in message ink.net... Anyone done this? How did you do it? I'm sitting here in the rain thinking about it. Jim |

Depending on the type of bedding compound used, you might find a heat
gun useful. Take it off very carefully. Don't damage a single piece. Tie it up in neat bundles. I'll provide the shipping address when you get it done. TIP: If you will screw a regular wood screw into each bung it will lift it out of the bung hole as the screw you insert makes contact with the screw holding the teak to the deck. This way I'll get nice clean bung holes when you ship it to me. Thanks. Joe |
