Strip her down


The removal of the deck hardware with before and after photos has begun. I am removing everything that i can easily remove that is screwed or through bolted with the exception of the grab rails (4) and the window trims (10). The only reason is there is no finish left on the teak so I think I can hand sand and refinish in place. There is no evidence of any leaks or cabin top damage. The bolts are all concealed by a 1/4" cabin top liner that is bonded to the top. It would create a lot more repairs to the interior cabin. The bad thing is I will have to paint around them.
All of the holes have been enlarged and filled with thickened epoxy, faired and need to be sanded out.
