Redecking questions
Posted: Fri Aug 23, 2019 10:50 am
For those who have re-decked it's my intention to do this during early fall, but I want to try a few
different things:
1) Instead of laying the plywood across (poet to starboard) I'm thinking of going bow to stern to make it more ridged.
2) Using Marine plywood 5-ply, like how other marine upgrades are done, was thinking of coating the sheets and ends in epoxy so they last longer.
3) Holes for the playpen studs, and any other thru-holes ie: helm or seats was thinking of oversized holes filled with epoxy re-drilled so no wood is exposed.
Has anybody done any of the above? Would like to hear if you have and what the outcome was...was any of it worth the extra effort?
Thanks
