Hey guys.... Im about 2 weeks into another one of those fun cragslist projects. 89 Wellcraft Eclipse 186.
What started as carpet turned out to be ONE piece of rotten deck. The rest had obviously been recently replaced (not sure why they skipped this piece but...) Pulled the piece out and found wet foam. Came back in and searched forums for a couple hours doing homework on this and found tons of uselfull stuff. How to get it out, how to (or if) replace it, stringers, peanut butter...pretty much 99% of what I need. Excpet one thing.
That back section was reeally wet. I cut into the next one and it was only wet on the bottom 1/2, Next one only bottom 1/4.
1) It is safe to assume to water is traveling forward from the rotten section?
2) How much wetness is acceptable?
Am I just being lazy or should I just rip the whole thing up (both sides) and redo the floor?
What other issues besides weight am I facing with a little water?
Thanks guys! This forum has already been a life and dollar saver, not to mention very entertaining. Pictures ARE coming.
