Mike - Larry's suggestion is a good one. If you think there's water in there you can drill a couple weep holes in fromthe cabin side to drain the water out. Some folks have had good luck using a good size shop vac to help speed the water extraction.
If you decide to replace the coring and you can get to the area from inside the cabin you can cut out the liner and replace the plywood from underneath - saves having to deal with cutting through the eck and making things mate together invisibly when you are done - especially around non-skid. It's a lot easier to cover it up on the inside than outside. -- Dave C27 #5212 Windabout Cape Cod http://dpbcc.home.comcast.net -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hi Mike, > > Its cored with Plywood.
