Lazerette And Propane Locker Getting Some Love Over The Holidays.

Rudder! (And Swab)

My new AC/DC electric panel arrived today....broken😢😠

More deck core replacement.

I hated to get rid of the teak deck, but at the same time, I'm glad I won't have have to maintain all that teak. Either way, it had to come up. The core of the deck had rotted and made some squishy spots. It was a very messy job as after all the teak was removed the whole thing needed to have a layer of epoxy ground off, that I'm sure was there from from a previous repair. The issue of the rotten core is infamous in these boats, and why they are often referred to as Leaky Teakies. The problem is that all that teak is screwed through fiberglass into the core. If the teak deck is not meticulously maintained, every one of those million screw holes eventually leaks into the core.

Once all the panels were trimmed to fit, i held them all together with some fence boards so i could remove the wall in one piece. Now I need to fiberglass the inside of the wall before reinstalling it permanently.

WOW! That looks awesome!

Well this is swell… ____________________________________________ #yachts #yachtlife #lavish #wealth #boat #boats #boatlife #yacht #yachts #yachting #yachtlife #boat #boats #boating #boatlife #marina #marine #luxury #rich #richlife #waves #seadoo #waverunner #vacation #sea #sun #success #superyacht #megayacht #ocean #wealth #luxurious #nautical #megayacht #sail #sailing #ocean #vacation #rich #sea #yachtclub Via @onlyforluxury by yachtswhatknot

Once the teak was all removed and deck cleaned up, the top layer of fiberglass is cut off and rotten core scraped out. Then the lower layer of glass is sanded with 40 grit and new marine ply epoxied in place. The ply was cut using the top layer I cut off as a template. Next up, the top layer will get epoxied back on, then all the seams get glassed using 4 or 6" fiberglass tape.
