    Hello,
    I have just purchased a sweet looking 32+ Chris Craft.
    It is in need of some planks to be replaced, which I plan on doing soon!
    Does anyone have an opinion on when to caulk my boat with cotton? She is dried up completely and I will swell it first. My main concern is this winter in the Northeast. Will it dry out completely again and the caulking will need to be replace. I'm a first timer with restoration and would like to time it right.

    Thanks
