So I was working on restoring our 1990 and found the entire interior fabric and bases needed to be stripped from the boat. The original fabric and foam has an overwhelming amount of mold. So much that the interior smells like gas.. :disgust so my plan was to keep the original bases use bleach with a 8 to 1 ratio really saturate the wood then pressure wash it and finally seal it with helsmen. Well after hours of pulling staples a blister and inhaling God only knows I am thinking it might be better to start with fresh plywood. I just don't want to reintroduce any mold back into the Dory again. Maybe I'm being a bit parinoid suffering from psds from the countless hours of scrubbing, wiping and throwing away. Thoughts Brats?
Yeah, a few leaks in the V birth, sitting stale water in the chain locker, six inches with no drain???? Will lead to really bad mold. However we are so looking to pulling it back together and enjoying the summer with her.
