Working in the lazarette.
This is the area under the water tanks. Concrete that was glassed over. I removed the broken fiberglass and loose concrete and poured new over top. After curing will fair a bit and refiberglass the top and up the corners.

Will that be all storage now, or are the water tanks going back in?

Putting the water tanks back in. The area is not very accessible for storage once all the steering gear gets back in there.

Most likely the concert was used as a leveling agent to make a flat solid platform for the water tank. Quick super strong and easy.

Why did the builder use concrete? --- This boat has concrete ballast In the keel and maybe needed a few hundred pounds back there too.
Or why did I leave some of the used concrete in place? -- I left the used stuff in place to lessen my trips up the ladder (on stands right now) with five gallon buckets of concrete. It will be encapsulated with fiberglass again.

I imagine that is exactly what I would find if I removed my water tanks. I try not to think about it.

Tip of the hat to the OP. Lot of owners when discovering that, would ignore it. Solve problems before they mushroom into bigger ones.

Strange since we have sister ships that I didn't find any concrete in the lazarette. My floor is solid fiberglass but follows the angle of the hull.
I did replace crumbling plywood leveling blocks on which sat the water tanks.
You must have the high-buck version.

Greetings,
Mr. a. We also had a '74 MT, DC ( I think yours is a similar vintage-"75, perhaps) and no concrete OR water tanks in laz' Our tanks were under the aft berths.

Sure thing... this is my second concrete job on this boat.
It's interesting learning the construction of these boats, and if I were to shop for another one I'd know exactly where to look for trouble areas.

Just curious, are there any negatives to having a forever damp/wet zone between the concrete and the FRP hull?
