Hi, I have a 1975 fiberform boat which I am trying to refurbish to a modest condition. I have no experience with boats per say, but do have modest mechanical skills. When repaired I intend to make the boat a gift to my son.
The problem that faces me is after removing the old vynel deck covering I found numorous cracks in the decks surface material.
Question: 1. What will I find under the fiberglass, if and when it is removed?
2. Should I remove the whole deck or repair the cracks?
(The cracks appear to be mainly located in the rear 2 feet of the
deck by the O/B motor).
3. Can anyone inform me what the Fiberform boat deck supporting
substructure is made from...wood, fiberglass, other etc.?
I hope to keep the costs as low as possible. All insights into this problem will be greatly appreciated. Thanks jim1940
