Hello everyone. I have a 1973 26' Livesay Flybridge I stripped for restoration. We just had a large amount of rain come trough Southern California and all the exposed wood got soaked. Is there a way I can dry it out after the rain stops or will it just take time? Thanks

Sure was glad you guys got some rain, hope it doesn't cause any slides.

Put some fans on it to keep the air moving. Either that or heat with a fan is about the only way I know of

Yeah we do need the rain. I guess after this rain we will have to cover it and let it go it's way. Here are a few pictures before it got wet.

Thanks Alldodge that's why we are concerned about it getting more damage. I wanted to start another restoration thread because we need some serious help and ideas on the new deck and other repairs.

I agree with AllDodge, good air circulation should dry things out. I'll be looking forward to your restoration thread, I'm a big fan of flybridge boats!
