If this is an exterior deck, I would not leave it that way. I'd put a few coats of awlgrip epoxy primer, and a few coats of awlgrip and nonskid.
Maine is the state in the Northeast with a very short stay before paying taxes.......
Wait to run her WOT until you're just about home at your home dock, no sense on blowing something up many miles from home. The one I manage...
If you intend to keep the gas engines, and the house is indeed rotten, making her an express will definately lighten her a bit and pick up some...
