    18' Riviera Tri-Hull Transom and possible deck replacement

    I have moved past denial and come to accept that the transom in my trihull needs to be replaced. The deck is still solid, but I know once I cut into it most likely it will be in need of replacement as well. The boat was purchased new in 1985 by my father in law. He gave it to me and my wife...
