[C320-list] Cabin sole flooring replacement

[Allan Field]

Hi Dave - You might want to give Buster Phipps at Phipps Boat Works at
Herrington Harbour North a call. He and his crew are absolute wood-wizards.
If anyone can resolve your issue without replacing the entire flooring, it
would be them. I doubt they will come to you but you may be able to work
with Buster through pictures then bring the boat down at some point if you
decide to move forward with him. - Allan
