- 36" Marine Trader Sundeck
The core of the fiberglass swim platform on my newly aquired 36' Marine Trader is completely saturated and rotted. I've removed it and am ready to tackle the repair. The top of the platform is in good shape and the non skid pattern is good.
My tentative plan is to carefully cut off the bottom layer (how?) of fiberglass and remove the rotted core material. I would then fill the core with one of the synthetic core materials, epoxy the bottom layer back on top of the core. Then sand and paint.
I've never completed a core repair of this scale and would really appreciate everyone's comments and experience.
