I was skeptical myself. Someone gave me a video and told me to watch it. It sat on my shelf for 3yrs because I thought it would never work.

Floor of 16' Gar Wood
Should the floor of my 16' Gar Wood Split Cockpit be made of Mahogany or Pine. The current floor appears to be white pine and original but I'm not sure.
