    Non skid floor help

    @kcon i don’t believe it needs to be completely smooth because I am putting down a non skid but I want to cover up 1708 cloth showing through. Considering putting down a layer of CSM, this would be on top one coat of total tred, thoughts?

    Non skid floor help

    @Mad Props could I still put a layer of csm on top of the coat of non tread I put down? The csm I got was so weak it was a mess to work with but if that is a better option I will do it?

    First deck replacement, I have questions

    Where do you guys suggest testing the transom, in the link that @todhunter provided there were small holes drilled along the bottom of the transom.

    Scott thanks for your questions about the integrity of the stringers and transom. I did not pull the motor or replace the transom plus I have not attached the deck yet.
