Yes , that's actually the first write up about deck rebuild I ever read. I also read this one.

I did not really see anything specific detailing how far to go. One concern I have is the condition of the poly resin. It has a ton of little cracks and voids in a bunch of different spots.


Jeff used 3x 1/4 sheets and Jason used 2x 3/8 sheets, both equal 3/4 thickness. I have a 1984 Revenge and I think I have to exceed that because if I am seeing this correctly in Jeff's drawing, the first sheet of 1/4, that's in the skin, rests on the lip where the screws go. The second and third sheet, the remaining 1/2 inch, is that meant to rest on the top of the rigging tunnel and fish well wall?

If so, my rigging tunnel sits between 11/16 and 3/4 lower than the lip as seen with the level and tape measure.

Looking at my fish well lid, which has the same measured difference between the lip and the top of the rigging tunnel, that looks to be resting on both.
