V-king floor/core repair near orlando

[200VEGAS]

Is there a place in orlando familiar with v-kings. A friend of mine has one and not sure he wants do do it his self. Neither of us has any re-core experience

[Ronny Jetmore]

unless he wants the boat this summer, and doesn't mind spending a chunk, tell him to do it himself in sections, take pics and ask questions on here. their is enough helpers in the arena to make it a good experience for him, unless maybe he just doesn't want to itch like crazy every weekend.

we do it to its not cheap very labour intensive but on a bright note the balsa is cheap

do your self a little favor, and have them leave some ventilation holes under the bow and add a couple others under the splash well area. the best thing to keep a bilge dry, is to let it get wet easily, because it then dries easily.

Well, he thinks jacksonville is to far and now thinks doing it himself may be the way to go. He so a local guy that recomended nida-core. Is this a good product.

I can make it from my house in St. Cloud, in a little more than 2 hours. Jack's shop is right off I-95.

The piece of mind in knowing it's done right, is well worth the 2 hour drive.

I had jack lugus (sp?), the nida core man himself, send me a sample of the stuff, and i do know that the benchmark of engineering is not determined by a pair of plyers, but squeezed the stuff with a pair of plyers and the stuff crushed pretty easily. I then applied the same plyers to a standard density balsa, and it only suffered facial texturing from the plyers. I'll stick with balsa. Skater still uses balsa, too.
