So I had to start removing the decking in the cockpit to see what I was dealing with there. The original cockpit plywood decking had been replaced at some point with a foam cored fiberglass material I think is called Divinycell. The Divinycell was bedded in 5200 and screwed to the deck framing. The original teak decking was reinstalled. I got part of this pulled out today and exposed enough to get an idea how much rot there was. It wasn't to bad. Except for the forward beam and some rot at the hatch door frame, the framing looked pretty good. These photos shows how far I got today.
