My 1978 Californian cabin has been "sinking" over the years in relation to the deck space. The most is about 1/2 to 3/4 an inch on the starboard side.
Its different enough that the deck drains are just a hair higher then the cabin corners. I was considering cribbing off the main stringers and jacking up either end of the cabin so that the water flows to the outside of the deck better. And then bracing the horizontal cabin support with a 2 inch steel tube and use 2 inch steel as well off the stringers for the vertical supports.
My concern is the fiber glass flooring. Well, all the fiberglass for that matter... it hasn't cracked noticeably over the years from the sinking, but I am concerned that lifting it may cause problems...
Anyone try this and have words of wisdom for me?
