Did you cut out the bottom panel in one piece or in sections? If sections, how big? Did you use thickened epoxy or the straight stuff? How thick was the Coremat? Did you have to piece it in or were you able to use one or more large panels? Sorry for all the questions, but I want to get as much information as I can before I dig in.

Hi Tom,
I too have replaced the rotted, soaked balsa deck in my M17 from below. It was a nasty, difficult job. I used Core-mat instead of end grain balsa for the new material. The leaks are gone.
It would be an easy job if you could turn the boat upside down...
One big tip, wear your respirator.
