I'd suggest going a different route. First, the ply used was pretty thin. I believe some was only 1/4". I feel you'd have a problem finding thinner sheets in treated. Second is the gluing of the butt block joint to make up the longer the 8' needed. Treated just not glue well. There are adhesives designed for the stuff but I wouldn't trust them. The best route that several here have used is to go with regular exterior ply, CPES and epoxy the butt block. |

you can use treated plywood from HD or Lowes for your wood under the combing pads. you will have to splice them together since you can only buy 8' long sheets.
The tow bar can be hard to remove. First there are 4 bolts that are right below the floor. they are in the cradle. you will need to loosen them first. Second there is a cup in the hull of the boat where the pylon rest in. there is a bolt that goes thru the cup and the bottom of the pylon. you need to remove the bolt. if the pylon has never been removed before, it may be corroded so bad that you will not be able to move it. If you have the ring and finger on top of you pylon, DO Not use it as a tool to twist with. It is brass and will break. |

Welcome to the site. If that wood in the combing pads has rotted I would be worried about rot in the stringers too.

I have an 83 ski natique that the side, upholstery plywood has rotted, what can I use to replace it that won't rot? also how hard is it to remove ski pylon, as it needs new ski loop or ball?
