[C320-list] Cabin sole flooring replacement

[Charles Holbrook]

 David:
I sent my flooring to Catalina in Florida to use as a pattern for a new floor about two and half weeks ago.  Still waiting to hear back from them.  The estimate from Warren at Catalina is about $2950.00 for a whole new floor. I guess I better give them a call as I want to drive down to Florida from Ohio in a couple of weeks to pick it up.  Warren told me shipping costs would be another 1/3 of total cost.

 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
