Here is some info I received from Cascade Yachts on a possible replacement of the deck for my 32.

Hi George,

Thanks for thinking of us. You are not facing an easy task anyway you look at it.

I am not sure as to the extent of the damage your deck has sustained, but it may be best to carefully replace the damaged areas. By carefully, I mean to salvage anything possible for patterns for the new wooden components. Don't worry about the deck that is solid.

When you are done with the wood working, glass over the plywood with a couple of layers of 8-10 oz cloth. You may want to put a layer over the entire deck for good measure.

If you want a fiberglass deck and house, we can use our molds to make a Cascade 29 or 36 top. Our Cascade 29 is approx. 29' LOD X 8'2" BEAM (a new 29 top would be about $15,000). Our Cascade 36 is about 36' LOD X 10' BEAM (a new 36 top is about $23,000). We had one customer put a 36 top on a 29 with the clever use of a saw and more fiberglass!

We can build custom plugs, molds, etc.; non are inexpensive. A mold can run between two and three times the cost of the finished part. We do nothing on speculation. If the Mariner Owner's Assoc. wants a Mariner deck mold, they need to hire us to do it. The best plug (to make the mold) is another Mariner.

Hope this helps.

I'm wondering if other have considered getting a company to pop out a entire deck for the 31/32 as it might be a easier but more expensive way to go.
