Re: F32 Interior Wood Work
On our 1980 F 32 I have been using Liquid Gold with really good results. It brings out the true color of the wood and makes it glossy. Make sure you rub the old in. Faded wood seems to really suck in the old and restore the original coloring!

Re: Stringers - Exposed wood protection from rot
We have a 64 year old classic wood boat in which we use a product from Minwax it's called Wood Hardener and you should be able to get it at paint stores. Let the wood dry out and then apply. Makes the wood hard again by filling pores of wood. Good stuff.

Wow, that looks bad. Could you post pics during replacement? Would you consider steel fabrication along with the new wood? What bilge paint do you use? Thanks.

Howdy, has anyone out there had to replace a sliding side window on a F 32 series boat? Just picked up the boat and is in transit from Erie to buffalo and broke a port engine motor mount too. Fun steering into dock area.
