|
|
Our 2004 C-D 25 (Sans Souci) sustained outer hull bottom collapse. Survey indicated balsa saturation 80% of bottom and soft areas in cabin floor and dock-pit deck. Restoration required replacement of all core material below waterline as well as cabin floor and cock-pit deck with solid, high density,closed-cell foam. Yes, it can be done, and was perfectly accomplished by Barker's Island Marina repair facility, Superior, Wisconsin. Not cheap, but better than new. |

Sorry to hear about the problems on your boat. Glad also that the repair is complete and you can once again enjoy the boat.
I have a 22 cruiser, and I have often wondered about the construction of the 25s. Do you know the root cause of the problem?
Thanks _________________ Clay on Hammerhead
