    It would have been ideal to pull the boat off and into a jig before the core was pulled. this way the boats sits naturally where it should. The more contact you can have with the bottom of the hull, the better. I removed my vector core on the trailer and it felt like a trampoline when i stepped into it.

    I put hard foam on a cement garage floor to support the entire pad length, then propped it up along the hull for support.

    nice lookin boat btw.

    as it sits on the trailer, with the core removed, try wiggling the hull up and down from the side. while wiggling the boat up and down you should be able to look inside the boat and see where the contact points are on the trailer. although you may not be able to tell, most likely where the boat is supported by the bunks underneath it creates a high point inside the hull. Or if the boat was upside down, it would be a low point.

    I guess in theory when you removed the core, the boat essentially "sagged". Once you put the new core in place, that "sagging" will become permanent as it will be glassed in. Again, you might have a VERY good supporting trailer and maybe this wont be that big of an issue.

    I usually just hang the boat, or block it up under the notch in the transom and bow eye. The mess with the bunks via snugging the bunks up to the bottom while I'm working in it for support. During lay up I keep a close eye on the bottom via straight edge/string and careful measurements. When you gut the boat you'll see how flimsy they are.

    that`s basicly how i did my boat. put a saw horse under the notch to get it off the trailer just enough so the bunks were their to keep it from sagging after the core was in i put a staight edge under it before i glassd it to make sure it was still straight

    once you hit solid balsa, you should be able to call it a day. Although, just because you hit nice balsa, does not mean 4" more in, its not rotted. this is the reason I removed the ENTIRE core.

    There is a good chance the further you get from the centerline the less rotted it will be, so you will prolly be ok.

    You'll find the core in the V under the air chamber rotten for sure.

    i was thinking it would be good to leave the square (air chamber) above the pad alone.the core under it is bad. put knees in and have them continuos tight alongsine the square on each side as far forward as they need to be. (or im willing to go) it takes time for it all to sink in,no pun intendid. anyway mr reckless is on to the transome. also here is how its supported. hanging it sounds good.
