Matthew, I would have overdrilled and filled but once I got the track off I was able to prove to myself that there was NO core. That alone shortened and simplified the job greatly.
I did the cabin top handrails and found that there was core material there. I over drilled a d filled. I did the mast collar and expected to find core material but was pleasantly surprised to find solid glass. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Fri, Dec 14, 2018, 9:50 AM Matthew L.
