    1985 20' Overnighter - Soft Deck between helm chairs

    This is the route I decided to take, SkunkBoat. The hatch was a good call. Allowed access to the bulkhead limber hole (which was clogged) and for thorough inspection. An liberal injection of GitRot into the plywood helped, as well as some additional reinforcement. No foam to speak of. Thanks to...

    1985 20' Overnighter - Soft Deck between helm chairs

    Thanks for the input. Repairs of this type are not in my skillset - I have owned this one since 2004, and have had the transom replaced. Love the boat but some of these issues are like pulling a thread...

    1985 20' Overnighter - Soft Deck between helm chairs

    Thanks very much for the response. You are correct that the fuel hatch is removable; however, there is also a bulkhead at the sealant line, just aft of the soft spot, so there I don't believe that there is a view forward. I have had this hatch off in the past (it's been a while) but can take...

    85 0vernighter Cabin Windows

    Has anyone replaced or rebuilt side cabin windows? Any sources for parts? Mine are not leaking, but on one side the alum frame has corroded and expanded preventing the window from opening.

    replacement cabin windows

    OK, no replies for replacement window sources, so has anyone ever rebuilt these or had custom units fabricated? Original message: Does anyone have a source for replacement windows for 1985 Overnighter? The aluminum frames have expanded and the sashes no longer operate. Also, has anyone ever...
