Bob was selling some parts of a F32 so you may get lucky .


BTW fixing it is not that hard I had to do it on my F30 . I fliped it over cut the lower glass and removed the core . I replaced it with plywood and reglassed the lower part back on .

even if you find used ones they'll most likely will need work.....repairing yours seems to be a dollar wise move..

Fixing is easy.. do it from underneath, you can use plywood or balsa core.

Or use Divincyl and never worry about doing it again. Its a bit more expensive than plywood, but doesn't rot!

I've used it with good result s in several areas - you can even glass over the top, sand and paint for a smooth, gel-coat-like finish.

Nothing more on that part but the pulpit was done the same way with Plywood and weights to ensure a good bond before replacing the bottom glass layer, this method allowed for the gel & non skid finish of the top surface to be left untouched...

The fore and side decks were done with balsa core....
