Rummy,

The wood may be strong enough but it looks like s**t so we would like to
replace it.  I don't think it is the ports because it is just too much
water.  50 gallons in 1 month from the ports?  It's got to be pooling from
the decks some place and then coming in.  We plan to try a hose and see if
we can spot the water coming in.
