Hunter 17 Clearwater, FL
I have a Hunter 17 and the deck has some cracks and also around the middle it seems that the deck is delaminated(when you step on the port side, the starboard side lifts up slightly, and vice versa). What would you suggest is the best way to remedy these situations? I got her last year and have only sailed her once because I have no idea how to move forward...then i had an idea - I was thinking i could get some 1/8 flexible decking and glue it down over the top of the whole area, which would seal the cracks - would that be a terrible way to fix this?

spoke with Danny advising void between outer skin and foam construction. Told him to drill every two to three feet holes, liberally apply Gorilla Glue with air hose, place weights on boards across the deck and let dry for 48 hours. Then remove boards, apply plexisus and sand smooth, May take two applicaations with the Plexisus that can be purchased via forum store or plastic welder but highly suggested plexisus. Then told him to call and ask forum store which Krylon spray white paint number to use . There is a lot more but if and ready, I will be on standby via phone.
