Under my avatar there you can see my info and you are welcome to go to my profile page and check out my old
boat too
Been here since 2014, so not too long, and I find A LOT of helpful info and tips here from many folks with a lot more knowledge than I! You might check out all the social groups too for more info. Be sure to use the search function here too, there's a wealth of info in the
archives.
As far as a wet deck, you might check around the chainplates,
jib sheet tracks and stanchion bases first. I wouldn't want to have to deal with it, BUT it all depends on how much you want, and will enjoy, that particular boat. It may be completely worth it to you but not other people. Don't worry about what other people think, unless you are thinking of selling the boat soon and you are thinking in terms of the value your boat will have vs. the amount of $ you'll have to put into it.
Good luck!
