Today I removed all the stanchions and chain plates so I could begin cutting the deck. The only problems I had were the outer stanchion hardware which were behind the inner liner lip. I cut out a small section of the lip to gain access to the hardware. Then the cutting commenced. The foredeck didn't seem to have to much water intrusion but the glue in the plywood core let go. The majority of the water intrusion is in the side decks and it looks like it came in through the stanchions mounts. Stay tuned for more.
