Convert 87 Cuddy to Open Bow

[jjuriga]

Here's my issue: Water intrusion from the bolts on the pulpit over time rotted the teak, yes the teak. It also** rotted the wood in between the fiberglass layers on the bow itself... So I have a major problem on my hands. What if... WHAT IF --- I cut the bow top piece right off and make an open bow out of it? Obviously a lot of work after cutting, but...



I could've sworn someone else did this years ago.. but cannot find it.



Any ideas?
