I agree with Panther's previous post but as for your idea of putting spruce or oak under the deck, I personally would not do that. You have to think of the physics involved; dissimilar materials flex at diferent rates. Something very rigid like oak is going to tend to split away from the fiberglass on the deck, because the deck flexes by it's design (as opposed to the transom which is basically fixed). I would sandwich Klegecell between layers of bi-axial and tri-axial. Being a foam core, the Klegecell will form well, give strength, and be flexible as well. This worked well on my old Top Gun and my old Coyote raceboat. You can get Klegecell from Fiberglass coating in St. Pete. 1-813-327-8117.

barry what is the purpose of using the klegecell instead of just tri or biaxial cloth and epoxy? btw st pete is a 727 area code, talked to wood down there at spfc nice guy. i just email him some pics of the damage. thx, again. rm

You still need to use the cloth, the klegecell would be glassed over top. It gives the area much greater density and kind of acts like a stringer. :cool:
