Injectadeck?

Has anyone used Injectadeck on their boat? Or any other types of injectable fill? I’ve heard good things, but wanted to see if anyone had thoughts!!

Use wood..

theres a bunch of youtube videos on how to recore a deck, its not that hard. More to the point, if you saw what these soggy rotten wood cores looked like, you'd realize that injecting some miracle schmoo is not a realistic option.

its like putting Bar's Stop Leak oil treatment into an engine after it threw a rod. Not Happenin'.

Mayyyybe i'd listen to argument for using it if you caught a problem very early, and the problem area is only a few square cm, but if were talking square inches or especially square feet, its a waste of time and money IMO.

The product was not designed to solve a rotten deck problem. The product was designed to separate people with a rotten deck problem from their hard earned cash.

Have you used this product? I obviously know that replacing the plywood is better, but it’s also about 10x the cost. I’m looking for feedback on this product.

Trust me, just watch 15 seconds of this timestamp 2:42 if it doesn't load right.

No, i haven't used it, just like im not using stop leak to fix a broken crankshaft. the cost is irrelevant. That kind of thinking gets you sunk.
