You'd have to resaw the planks, but they would be perfect. I'll let you have them cheap. A bit of overkill there. 3" thick? Sheesh. Hey - find a mill and have them resawed. Uh, this "deck" is a bit of cover for the anchor rode at the bow. It's about 18" long, and maybe 18" wide at its widest point. It's shaped like a triangle and is two pieces of maybe 1/2" pine support by a little bit of frame. It looks original to the boat, which is at least 50 years old, and has been living in a shed for a long, long time. The planks in the hull are in pretty good shape, no rot, no cracks. I'm just messing around with it at the moment. So, buy one board from Short Wave, cut off a 2 foot section, break out your pen knife and whittle it into shape. Plus, you'd have enough wood left over for 5 more spare decks. Simple. I didn't get this far into my dotage by doing things the "Shortwave Way." Hey!!! |
