Hy all Coronet forum

I'm finalizing the purchasing of an OF32 dated 1971. Here below a short This beauty receive new AIFO 8061 SRM 220cv (diesel) in the middle of 90's and both engine receive adequate maintenance during the past years. Shaft line transmission and diesel tank relocation complete the pack
My bigger concern is that the front deck (between sundeck and anchor) is a little bit soft when you walk on... do you think it's normal or could be a symptom of delamination?

I kindly ask to the members any additional advice

Tks

This beauty of course some

Hi Marco, many coronet owners have fixed this problem. Is it just a little soft, maybe you can live with it.

The material in the deck is balsa and it get very soft when wet.

Do you have the boats serial number ?

Tks for your reply Bengt

"good" to know that many other members facing the same issue. I'm just worried about the cost to solve it and the safety... on the deck there is the winch so I expect huge load in this area.
Actually the deck softness seems to be acceptable.
This Friday I'll visit again the boat for some additional check, is it possible to upload some some pictures here in the forum?
For sure I'll take a note of the serial numbers and let you know

The serial number is located at the inside of the transom above the drive

and finally....here is my boat

a lot of job to be done. Probably there are some tons of derbies inside, old phishing equipment, two huge spindle and many other things.... keep you updated

The arrangement for the canopy is interesting on your OF32, do you have any picture when the canopy/roof is removed?
What are those white blocks on the side, is it some form of air intake?

Ciao Stefan,
yes, the white block were added years ago to increase air ventilation for engines. Consider that there 2 AIFO8061 SRM 220CV each...quite big
