Looking to purchase a "77" bristol corsair 24'. Owner said it has some deck damage that requires some fiberglass work. He said it may be a balsa core. I thought these were all made with solid fiberglass hull and decks? Anyone have any input?
I don't know this particular boat type, but if the owner says the deck is rotted, whether it's plywood, or balsa core, this is a major job. Unless you're very experienced with epoxy work, or have access to someone who is, and enough money to throw at it, best leave this one alone.
