fungus growing on the edge of the hatch opening

edge with dry rot

stb hatch, middle hatches and cracks in deck

Cockpit deck with wet core removed on Port side looking foreward

Cockpit deck with core removed on Stb side looking foreward. The outer laminate seems more substantial: core will be undermined and new layers of glass will be placed over it.

Port side with undercut for fuel fill--this will be glassed into the new deck

Thin outer layer of glass mat on deck (this is upside down--and the balsa is wet--about 12\" from the hatch

Under deck glass, with baltek scrim--not well adherent to the deck glass.

Upper part of deck (where you stand, over the balsa, showing scrim--and a crack thru this thin laminate)

Rresaonably good balsa core, but with poor adherance to deck (upside down)--with poor adherence, there is less stenght. The water migration stopped at the line between two sections of Baltek

Nida-core replacing bad balas, with all gel coat ground off foreward and around edges

Nida-core cut out--cellular nature, will be epoxy filled at the edges even though water proof

12 oz biaxial cloth. Fibers oriented at 45 degrees, mat under for adhesion

Cockpit with biaxial glass over the Nida-core and balsa

Biaxial glass over the Nida-core and balsa

Nonskid surface rolled out on the new cockpit floor *

epoxy sealing of edges of Nida Core

Transom area where depth finder transducer was placed drilled out looking for moisture

Transom opened up. Plywood minimal moisture and not affected. Balsa rot near the screw holes and moisture in core about 1 inch back
