    Iv'e discovered a 2'x2' area on my 1980 cutters deck that is waterlogged. My
    thought is to cut out a panal (top deck) along the line of the antiskid,
    lift/pry off this piece, dig out the rotted wood and replace with epoxyed
    plywood, replace the aforementioned fiberglas deck piece and bond it to the
    plywood core and the grove I cut.
     
        * Is this a good idea or are there other options ?
     
        * Someone on this list was discussing a material that fits over worn out
    antiskid and replaces it. I think its called Dytex or something like that.
    Anyone know anything about that?
     
        Is there a reason to not use closed cell foam as a replacement for the
    plywood core?
