GILow....the plywood decks are not a worry. Many Swansons were built like that originally. Our 36 has a plywood deck, which has been dynelled. I stripped back the decks a couple of years ago with a heat gun because the deck paint had built up too much over the years. The dynell over the ply was in good condition. I put a couple of two-pack epoxy prime coats over it for good measure before repainting. Good as new. The original teak decks though are a different matter. By now they would leak and need replacing. While the ply does not look as schmick as the teak, it's a cause of little work and long life versus mucho worko and shortish life. Good luck with your endeavours.
