Went up to Eden, Md the other day to look at my boat. It needs attention all over, and I'm still planning to save it. I thought the motor area would be my first concern, but when I looked at the mast and step that changed. There appears to have been a wooden mast step which is now gone, rotted. And the bottom of the mast is chewed up a bit, which I believe I can fix with epoxy and tape. Looking for direction on the step. If theres anything already published here or elsewhere I'd gladly read first. My first reaction is that the interior construction may need to be pulled around there. The rest of the interior probably needs to be gutted anyway,? so trying to work around it probably isn't practical.?
Theres much more but let's start there. Thanks in advance. --Rob
