I cut the deck off of my trihull and found standing water, soaked foam, and bad fiberglass on the stringers.
The transom sounds solid, but I will probably cut the fiberglass off of it to check the wood.
I have read many posting about how to do the repairs, and I am ready to start the process.
What I don't understand is should I block off the ends of the stringers so water doesn't get from the bilge area up in between the deck and the hull, or should I leave this space open back to the bilge area?
I will definitely NOT put foam back under the deck.
