I just bought my first boat (1983 Lema), and while we were fishing, a friend was relaxing in the captains chair and the screws ripped out of the deck and the chair and friend toppled over.
There are no soft spots in the deck, and the screws for the chair ripped out pretty clean. The wood appears dry but does not seem to be rotten, and the empty screw holes appear to have been sealed whenever the chairs were installed.
Is there a chance this is a minor repair or am I looking at a much bigger job?
