    2005 Hunter 33 Teak Laminate/Composite

    I'm fixing up a 2005 Hunter 33, and mostly following Don Casey's book as well as the manual.

    Hey Everyone, First post here to the forums, and it's what I hope is an easy one. I've removed all of the old rotted (and previously sanded to within 1/16th of an inch thickness) from around the cockpit of my 1976 Gulfstar Ketch. Removing it was quite a chore. Not sure if these were the...
