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
 

Real concern would be rot under there. At this point, I'd plan on just
pulling up the floor and replacing the under-floor structure, one way or
another. If the mast is a half an inch lower than it was originally, that's
not critical, but if it suddenly drops the 10 inches or so to the bottom
of the bilge, then you have a problem.

Rebed deck hardware to avoid deck core rot and replace or seal up thru-hull
fittings. That's the super short list. Two working bilge pumps, one
large, either on shore power or each on its own battery, would be a good
idea.

Chain plates.
Hopefully at her age they have been done.
They should be redone so they are not encapsulated in fiberglass but are visible on the surface of the knees in the lockers, best to use 316 for plates and bolts.

There are several methods to approach the issue depending on the condition of the knees.

Also Beddit butyl tape is your friend
