I haven't heard so much about "rotting transoms, floors, and bulkheads in older Grady's!" When should I expect mine to fall apart? I dunno about yours, Gene. My 1991 Grady Gulfstream had a bulkhead that was completely rotted out. I think we have discussed that before and I am still at a loss. My bulkheads are made of a resin based material... not unlike micarta.... heavy as lead, but not susceptible to rot. My bulkhead was a laminate, almost like laminate counter tops. Everything under the laminated surface was rotted out plywood. Fortunately, it wasn't structural. It was simply the wall between the cockpit and the cabin. |
