For those of you who were concerned to see on ebay a Tremlett with a knotty pine deck I am happy to post a photo of the boat with its new deck. It was indeed knotty pine held together with roving nails.
I have replaced all the knees, put in a new bulkhead and stripped the inside of the hull. She is coming together quite well.
And grateful thanks to se7en who got the engine going!

10/10 for re-decking John, done a few of these, not easy with all the compound shapes! 3/10 for workshop cleanliness though, obviously not flogging the staff regularly enough..."beatings will continue until morale improves"

Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

Personally I think the knotty pine suits your character & its a shame you removed it.
Are you going paint or varnish??
