Evening all,
I'm still stripping paint off Flamingo my 1930's Gaff Cutter and have come across some repairs in the planking. Essentially a small section has been replaced where the steel floors inside are bolted through. The new wood is not long enough to span two frames which seems odd to me and the bolts have been cranked up so tight the wood has compressed. Being a bit of a newbie I'm not sure if this is a good repair, bad repair, or downright disastrous repair. Any advice?
