thanks man
Yes, underside is just wood glued to the underside of the deck. No encapsulation. That's why it rots so fast. If Wellcraft has spent just a few more dollars and put a thin layer of glass over the wood it would have saved countless boats from premature deaths. Just remember to use irregular shaped pieces of plywood when you replace it so there's less chance of a structural weak spot like there would be with square pieces.
You're welcome

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
