Hello everyone - I am new to this forum, so please excuse if I am posting incorrectly at all, I will learn.
We have a 1978 Puget Trawler 44, with the usual leaks etc. The PO replaced the windows with a modern style already.
The issue I'm tracking down is rot appearing inside between the salon and the captains quarters. I believe it is cause by a poor design, or construction of the midship deck (I'm not great with names, hopefully I got that right). I have added show arrows to this image to help show the flow. The other image shows one the corners. The yellow is some epoxy that was someone's attempt to stop the leaks.
I am considering building up mid-deck with new fiberglass to reshape it to flow better towards the back. Has anyone else here done something like this? I'm wondering is I can build on top of the existing fiberglass, or if one needs to got deeper and remove the old glass completely?
