You are welcome. Here is a link to some factory tour photos that show some as-being-built pictures.Thank you. Yes, it helps to see what’s inside. I haven’t seen the boat in person but I know they have a couple hull access ports in the bow section already; yes, a couple.
In my search for a better way to re-attach the halyard cleat, I saber-sawed through a lot of wood bonded near the mast. Not satisfied with that repair, I'm going to add a mast cleat.
The new mast step will have to be built up. I'd use several layers of newspapers around the mast. Make a tube of several layers of 8-oz fiberglass cloth "tape". Make it somewhat oversized and trim to fit. Reinforce the top and bottom with more fiberglass.
I left the mast step in place, drilled two deep ¼" holes diagonally down through the mast step, and epoxied six-inch portions of fiberglass "tickle sticks" to connect the tube with the deck wood I'd unwittingly sawed through. :L&VW, are you going to fit the new tube/step like the factory (around the molded lip in the deck) or do something different?
CDWells, did the owner send you any more pics?
I actually picked up the hull today and hope to repair it over the winter. Reading all the comments and seeing photos here has encouraged me to take on this projectL&VW, are you going to fit the new tube/step like the factory (around the molded lip in the deck) or do something different?

See above. I didn't touch the mast step, as I only wanted the halyard cleat and halyard block to be supported by nuts and bolts. (and not screws). It was too much work, so I don't recommend this approach.L&VW, are you going to fit the new tube/step like the factory (around the molded lip in the deck) or do something different?
