this looks good.

years of trickling water from what appears to be a window leak has deformed the fiberglass. you could see it thro the headliner.

guess the cabin is first. needs more than i thought, good winter project.

morning tony, looks like you and i are keeping first watch, again. maccabee and i just got back from our morning walk. wet nasty snow. he was like, ''whf? snow? on MY grassy areas? RUBBISH!!!'' short walk though. in anticipation i walked him super early yesterday. his 'launch code' went off a few yards down the street. quick clean up then he raced me home. he's now tucked under the electric blanket w/ phil probably until 0700.

jeff.... looking at your water damage at the cabin side windows.... trojan window frames were notorious for this. i suggest you completely remove the frame and look at the 90 degree edges and at the very front and back, under the frame. i will bet you there will be water burn through from years of sitting water. that can be repaired, but, it needs to be addressed. then you can rebed the frames. or, diamond seaglaze in seattle can fabricate new ones for you and might save some stress further down the line. the new frames are much better and drain faster. just a suggestion.

lol nice to see jeff, mine was the same when I got her. I refabbed all the cdx that went around the inside of the window like yours.wasnt hard at all, but like someone mentioned best to get the cdx that was between the fiberglass dug out and replaced as best you can while you have it opened up. I did mine and have had no leaks after the repair ,ratturds you say ? lmao I had a RAT/BAT HOTEL in my cabin cleaning that all out was the worst a little tip if you plan on saving the headliner in the boat DO NOT PRESSURE was down there!!!. I spread that filth all over trying that. luckily I have a 17yr old son so I had 7 - 5gal buckets of water and as one got nasty the boy would dump it and hand me the fresh pail. took a couple days but ended up looking and smelling pretty good when I got done . good luck !!!
