removehtml]I have a 1982 Catalina 30 that has a collapsed core in the deck under the mast and the compression post has broken the liner with cracks visible from inside the cabin along the aft edge. The bilge block for the compression post is solid, the rigging is loose. I contacted 2 repairs companies:#1 - wants to cut the deck (24" x 24") and reglass from topside from the liner all the way up to the deck level with new gel coat and water way around the mast.#2 - wants to drill a 1" dia. hole and inject penetrating epoxy (Git-Rot, CPES or similar).The estimates from #1 is $4000, from #2 is $1000 (both include stepping the mast).Any thoughts, comments and/or experinces are appreciated.BTW -This is my 23 year old son's "dream" boat which gave us a nasty surprise, so thank you for helping an adveturous young man.Error: Error: expected [/URL], but found [/removehtml] instead[/removehtml]
