Planning on what you need as a "repair" will be hard , finding someone to to a quality job you can afford will be much harder.


Keeping the boat inshore only , no waves flopping on deck , no combers pounding on the pilot house would be a start.

Deciding on the term of longevity of the repair another.

Cosmetic look after repairs one of the most expensive decisions..
You have previously described a repair method I like the sounds of.* It was along the lines of; tear off the teak, lay down a layer of Corecell(?), glass it & forget it.* That may be the optimal solution, all things considered. At least for the decks.

I doubt Moon Dance will ever go offshore.* Certainly not with me aboard! As for longevity, I figure I have 20 years, max, of active boating left in me, and this solution should hold up that long.

Cosmetics? Ha!* I'll get to it eventually.* Maybe.* I'll settle for safe, dry and running.

She's a party barge.* Come to think of it, that would be a good boat name. "Party Barge"* The SO wouldn't allow "Curmudgeon"
