Mark,

Did you put marine plywood back in, and if so, what kind? Seems there are many different types of marine plywood. Some people I know that repair boats say they use MDO plywood instead of the marine grade. Does this make sense? Also, did you extend the plywood at all, or make it the same size that was there? Just curious, as I'm doing the same repair right now...I'm not sure how the mast stayed up...the plywood was the consistency of oatmeal.

Thanks.
