I am the proud owner of a new to me '77 Catalina 22. Everything looks to be in good shape considering her age. It's functional for sure. I'd like to redo all of the exterior woodwork and some of the sheet material on the interior. Mainly the bulkheads. What material should I be looking at?
I'm in Oregon, so Port Orford Cedar is easier to get, but are there other, less expensive materials to look at? And for the interior, should I be looking and marine ply?
Any and all advice is welcome.
Lastly, what types of fasteners should I be looking at? The current ones use a dimpled washer under a wood screw into the fiberglass. Should I look at through bolts?
