 Rebuilding rear wall 


     We had some water intrusion that rotted a portion of the rear wall.  We resolved the problem by removing the side stanchions and lifelines.  I always thought they were in my way when I walked along the side decks.  They would trip me up constantly.



     Part of the floor was also rotted out.  We had a little demolition to rip out the rotted wood.




     There was an inside wall and an outside wall that needed to be removed and rebuilt.




     I also replaced the teak sole under the wall.


     I used 5/8 marine plywood with three coats of west system epoxy and three coats of Petit epoxy paint.  Hopefully if it gets wet again it won't rot.   I used the old pieces as templates.




     I replaced the floor piece with 3/4 marine plywood with three coats of epoxy.



     I also replaced the side paneling with new laminate over the old paneling.  It brightened up the salon a bit.




          Installation went well and I have not had anymore leaking problems.
