Cockpit sole is getting a bit springy. . .brown water drips when it rains hard. . .thinking a recore is in order this summer
Though, it isn't coring like I would imagine. It is 1/4" thick fiberglass sole, and the 3/8" plywood is glassed to the underside with 2-3 layers of fiberglass. I want to avoid going in from the top. I "recored" 2 areas of the side decks from inside. It wasn't bad. I was thinking the same thing for the bottom of the sole. . .but with 1/4" G10. Cost is a bit more, but on paper the labor and time involved is much less. No fiber glassing except some tape on the edges to keep them from peeling. No potting the fasteners holes. . .no worries about water ingress EVER
Thoughts? Is 1/4" not stiff enough?
Thanks!
