Delamination/Penetrating Expoxy/Purchase dilemma

[ijiraq]

Hello all! Well this is my first post, I have been out of the loop now for about 8 years living and working in the high arctic. Before that I lived and sailed for 5 years on my tiny Lyle Hess Balboa 26 all over the great lakes, gulf of St. Lawrence, Labrador coast and NF.

I am in a position where I am looking for a live aboard cruiser for 2 adults, 1 child. I am stuck on 2 vessels -one is a FC atkin/ingrid/samson seafarer, the other is a Ta Chiao ct41 i believe, about a '76. Depending on the ferro build, I know the seafarer is the best/safest choice for offshore long distance family hauler. I have been aboard quite a few vessels in various conditions and the seafarer was hands down the most seakindly I ever set foot on or had the pleasure of taking the helm of.

That being said, the CT i am looking at can resell down the road much better if we need more space, but she has some serious delam issues on her deck. I assume she is end grain balsa core but i really have no idea. I know many people have already exhausted all avenues trying to find short cuts to this, but here is my fix idea, but I need feedback from experience as to why this idea may/may not be viable:

There are large (6 foot sections that have dry delaminated due to poor build practices/poor adhesion or not enough epoxy used. Actual matting layers are separating dry. http://www.yachtsalvage.com/photos/Y...S133260_09.jpg Hull itself is sound. There are a few high load areas effected (near winches, etc.) Without pulling the whole deck and starting over, I want cover the areas, drill multiple holes in effected areas, and heat the hell out of the boat and dehumidify for a week or so from the inside and above to minimize moisture. to take a slightly xylene-thinned ESP 155 or similar, and from the top, pump this thinned expoxy into the voids, hopefully the thinning and drying will help carry resin via xylene osmosis. Then allowing a few more weeks of curing under heat and low humidity before re gelcoating/finishing. Any reason why this wouldn't work? Cheers from Ellesmere Island!
