From the feedback I have received from this group so far I think it is safe to say very few if any 9.1 owners use the baby stay. That's good news for me. The only time I have been on boats that used them I thought they were a pain in the .... If you do not use the babystay, is it safe to remove the tie strap from the baby stay pade eye to the forward stringer? Yesterday I discovered that this area of my deck is a total sponge. I am really disappointed that my serveyor missed this. I have already finalised my purchase so I am going to have to bite this one. I happened to lean on the strap and I noticed the deck flex big time. The damage seems to be isolated to a relatively small area, but I am sure I am going to have to replace at least a square foot of core in that part of the deck. UGH. Unless there is a real good reason not too, I was going to eliminate the pad eye and the tie strap. Whadda ya think? |
