Hello all!
Just picked up a 04, 216 and am excited to sail. Unfortunately, the previous owner lied about a lot of the condition, so I have been doing more work than was originally expected.
Quick question, can anyone point me in the direction for a new seal for the cabin opening? I used an automotive one on a Capri 14 in the past but the shape of the existing seal on the 216 does not seem to want the same kind of seal shape.
A more serious question, I have what I can only describe as 2 'blisters' on the floor of my cockpit 6’’+ in length. One is near the hatch opening and will 'squish' down when stepped on. There is also a 'razor' like cut into the flooring nearby that will poof up water if I step nearby. I have dried everything out as much as possible and my plan is to use some Git Rot after I drill a few holes into the impacted area. Is this a good plan or is this a bad plan? I don’t have any previous experience working with the plastic that the boat is made from but I assume there is some kind of wooden core under the decking?
