Seems many here are familiar with the Oystercatcher refit. I very much appreciated Roscoe's boat shopping and criteria. Seems to match my own desires and lead me to the E25 as well!
Now there is a local boat up for sale. It is a project boat for sure. Roscoe's detailed refit has given me confidence to attempt fixing up this boat too. It is listed way too high in my opinion and I worry it is in worse shape that the boat Roscoe picked up.
Top concern: deck is soft just Aft of anchor locker on starboard side. Is that a sign of rot? What's the fix for this? I can walk on it, but I wouldn't jump! Roscoe mentioned other Ericson owners have had to deal with this but luckily he didn't.
Anyone have a good reference about fixing a soft deck?
Should I just forget about this boat?
