    Whew, John,
    I'm sure Mike would be the first to say, it ain't no big deal, recoring the deck. Think yor being seduced by what looks like a difficult job, first time.

    Integrity is maintained by the inner skin. So you can remove the top skin and bad balsa. And you'd be doing it in stages. So you'd be 'tieing it together.' You need good tools, good materials, and an idea of how to proceed. Haven't done it myself, but if Mike says, then I can do.

    A whole other deck on top would be that much more weight. You would be covering up, let's say, mushy tushy that is not in itself stable. Your extra deck would not have a good foundation. The sickness would not be excised. You'd be sailing with a failing! "OUT, OUT DAMN SPOT!" And what about thru fastening track and fittings?
    Like bandaging a gangrenous wound, anticipatin' a miracle! yuchk!
