Boat was hauled early 2018, due to leak in bow/stem area. small hole was discovered in port side bow inner plank. Bow outer planks (bottom 3) were removed so that inner plank sections, port and stbd, could be replaced. Localized stem damage (rot) was cleaned, treated, and repaired with thickened West System epoxy (pictures available). New meranti inner planks were cut, treated (w/CPES) and installed.  Outer planks being installed per Chris Craft original build methods using Dolfinite bedding compound and canvas between plank layers on all seams.  Outer planking nearly complete on stbd side (garboard plank to go), bottom planks remain to be installed on port side *.
* Due to new job and travel have not had the time necessary to dedicate to this repair job, and would like to see MerMad go to new owner who can devote more time to her. On Nov-20-19 at 11:27:16 PST, seller added the following information:
