[Alberg30] Fixing bad decks

[Furey, Bill (CORP)]

Hi- When you drilled the holes, how did you do it?  How many, how deep  etc.
for a square foot of deck?
I have an Alberg 35 & need some support around the boarding area, & most
probably other places> Thks,
Bill Furey

I want to advise a friend on how to fix his rotted core decks (balsa I
think). I did mine by drilling holes and injecting epoxy, but he doesn't
want to do that. We discussed cutting off the top layer of glass, removing
the rot, reinstalling a core, and reglassing the decks back down. I remember
a while back someone discussed using something other than wood for the new
core. What is that product and what is it like to work with? Is it a
supposed FOREVER fix (in other words, it won't rerot out)? What's the price
like in relation to marine ply? Any other info or advice?
 By the way, his rotted deck is under a beautiful Teak deck which was
probably the cause of the failure in the first place.
 
2nd Question:   Are there any Plastic (PE) fuel tanks that can be installed
under deck for use with Diesel engines. (Based on ABYC Standards / Meeting
Coast Guard requirements)
 
Thanks,
Brian    A30 #497
