After I plugged and sanded the back and sides of the boat, I had to replace the top rail. It was just too weathered and rotten for me to salvage. I have never had to replace them before; just a little nerve racking when you’re cutting and planing on a two hundred dollar piece of wood. It makes you think about it and double check everything a lot! Next, we move on to the top deck. I just love the look of this model’s top…just sweet looking. Just wait till you see it with the stain, which is the next step.
