BTW, my cap was paper thin, trying to save weight, i cleaned it up and didnt add a fresh layer of glass to it, i put core right down on the old stuff, glassed over it. after it was cured i put it back on the boat, my 225 lb buddy stood on it and bounced a few times, didnt even move or make any noise and it wasnt even glued or tabbed in, and i didnt even have gussets in at that point, pretty strong stuff, i glued it all in with bedding compound, spread it with a fine tooth trowl and squished the excess out by starting in the middle with a rib roller.

who built your interior cushions?

[TwzteD]

A guy locally, did a great job considering it was a solid glass seat that was not easy to staple to.

Used the 1/2'' HS-80 divinny cell on my V-King years ago. No problems. It will be louder (hull noise) when going over small chop and ripples. Penske core board 12# density, 1/2'' for floor and 26# 3/4'' for transom. 3'' thick overall on trans. No problems....I have run 505# optimax and EFI 3.0 mercs and have jumped the boat many,many times.

TwzteD wow that builds looks bomb proof. Very impressive, do you have a build thread somewhere?


Hippe thats pretty much what I was thinking. If the original lasted 30 years, my recore with balsa should last at least the same. The idea of rot proof core sure sounds appealing though

Yea in my signature, it's the third build in the fiberglass section. Here's the link. Boat is nearing completion but not done yet.

Hello my wetness, didn't expect to see you so spoon!

I removed the skin covering the balsa core in the pad area, all wet, soaking wet

first I used the circular saw just to score the skin, then completed the cut with that tool
