We're attempting to replace the rotted plywood floor on our 1973 Morgan 28. This boat has an encapsulated full length lead keel. Original 3/4" ply is heavily tapered at the edges and 'glassed onto the hull where the hull curves down to meet the keel. Unfortunately, the underside was not impregnated with epoxy prior to installation , so now the wood is mostly falling apart.
What has us puzzled is the 1/2-to-1" thick dark gray-colored epoxy putty slathered over the top of the plywood. Anyone out there seen anything like this? I don't know if this stuff was original or did someone use it to cover up a problem???
