Hi all,
I’m currently working on an old Macgregor Venture 17 and had to rebuild the entire V berth due to the wood having completely rotted out. I’ve templated and cut out the bulkheads and will resin them up tomorrow. I’ve included limber holes on each of the four bulkheads.
I’m a bit unsure as to how I should fit the V berth deck - resin to the tops of the bulkheads and against the hull and tab OR just lay on top and screw into bulkheads. The latter method allows me to more easily remove the deck if I need to in the future. Also should I include any vents on the deck for the bulkhead space?
Any help is appreciated - my wife told me it was a bargain at $500 - $2500 further in....
