311 Cabin "shift"
The interior wall of my head locker is obviously moving around more than it should and has pulled the L-bracket away from the ceiling. Does anyone know what this thing is screwed into? I am guessing there is a piece of resined-in ply up there. I would like to know how wide and now thick it is so that I can guess-ti-mate what I can run into it to anchor the wall back down.
Luckily, Lake of the Ozarks is a calm, inland lake with no rough water . . .

Why not just pull back the carpet and glass it in? Would be MUCH stronger then the screws.

Jon- I agree . . . and I know you are "aggressive" when it comes to boat repairs having seen the pics. I am looking for an interim fix for the rest of the season and will be making the permanent fix once she is winterized.

Cuda - You're not going to have to take the chain saw to one of your Birds are you?
Man, when I see those pics of Audiofn's boat I get a sick feeling in my stomach. Mine is an '85 so it may be just a couple of years away from major repairs.
Jon - Did you pull out your cabin also? Just wondering if all of your stringer and bulkhead replacement was around the tank. Or, did you pull up the floor in the cabin also?
