I have a 1979 22' Revenge, which is a 1979 Outrage with a cuddy cabin. My decks are in fine shape. The damage you speak of , I believe is from condensation from lack of ventilation. I removed my fish locker deck cover and expected a major repair and no repair to speak of. I believe it is a "crap shoot". Plugged drains, no ventilation, etc... all factors. When I removed the fish locker deck, kudos to the original installation. No failure of the original sealant present.
