"Roger Long" wrote in message ... "KLC Lewis" wrote I've only seen it done from above, also. You cut out large sections of the deck at a time, remove the old core, replace it with new, put the top back on, glass it into place, Robert's your father's brother. And how strong do you think those butt joints that used to be continuous fiberglass are? This is an approach that is either going to look like hell and be strong or look great and be very weak. Take your choice. It could be done right but I'm sure you could buy a comparable used boat for a similar price. -- Roger Long The core is epoxied, the deck is epoxied, the joints are bevelled, taped, expoxied. Done correctly, it looks great and is quite strong. |
