I have had two Klondikes and one Khatsalano from the same vintage, late 1990s, exhibit the same symptoms of delamination on their decks. I also have noticed that hairline cracks show up a couple of months before the deck material starts delaminating. Every season, I discover new cracks of delaminating deck material that needs patching.
I successfully have covered these small areas of delamination with Aquaseal and Cotol. In one larger area, I had to apply a patch of deck material from the Feathercraft repair kit. These patches are not aesthetically pleasing, but at least they keep the deck waterproof, and the boat is seaworthy.
