Listers, Having made the decision and taken the time to cut out and rebuild my M17 foredeck from the INSIDE, let me tell you, it is one royal pain and not a job to be taken lightly. My deck was very bad. Soft, spongy, leaking from the inside, and saturated. The moisture actually spreads through the balsa core. Granted, it would have been a much easier job to cut the top layer of deck and have gravity work for me, but I didn't want to repaint the entire top deck. Time will tell on how my repairs hold up. I believe Larry Yake had a similar fun experience.
Here's one BIG fact I learned during the re-build, buy and wear a respirator! Later, Bones ____________________________________________________________ Largest network of startups.
