non seacraft deck

[gregorymacc]

I have a non mako project. I am replacing the forward deck on my 1993 27' Ocean Master. I have got most of the wet wood out. There was no rot in the deck. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D550/ry%3D400/. I cut the top skin off and plan on reusing and then painting the old nonskid wit kiwi grip. I have left about a 2" lip where the sides radius into the deck. I am going to grind this down then use 6oz tape to tab the deck in. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a2...D550/ry%3D400/ Is there any tool or suggestion to get the remaining wood from the deck? I plan on using divinycell H-60 for the deck. I am using vinylester resin for this project. on a side note how do I post pictures?

I chiseled out the wood in the boat by hand the old fashioned way, with a hammer and chisel. I had enough of hitting myself in the hand with the hammer so after some research i came up with the air chisel. I still had to remove the wood from the top skins i cut up out of the boat and it worked like a dream. Quick and easy :

Few more updates of the work I have been doing. The entire forward deck is up and out. and I have ground down the topside skin. I am going to recore with divinycell h-60 then lay the old glass back on top.





I plan on tabbing the deck back in with a couple layers of 6oz tape. I only have about a 2" lip to work with then the deck transitions to the inside radius up the sides.
