Upyours, Well, I don't know Jack, (obviously) but that is a really beautiful R15. I love the color!
1954 BMW, I have an update but nothing that looks good in pics. I created and installed the transom, I do have a pretty good pic of that but I am at work and can't post it here. The major update is, as much as I hoped the core was good, there was this one section.... Of course I started uncovering it and found more.
Turns out it only had about 20% bad core within about 3 feet of the transom. This boat had been repaired before and the core in the last 1 ft. of the port side was removed entirely and replaced with solid fiberglass. Looks like many layers of CSM. The center stringer (keel?) was rotted to black paste, the port side of the core in the pad was rotten, the starboard side is good....
Long story short, I am in the partial recore business. Compared to removing a nearly completely rotten balsa core in a Hydrostream, this is (even more) miserable. Not to mention the weather....Hoping that with DST, I will be able to work a little in the afternoons now, but it is going to be slow.OK, I got down off the porch and ran with the big dogs....kinda sore now....think I'll just lay here in the flowerbed for a while...

upyours, Interesting layout in the green boat. Mine actually had the center stringer (keel) and four other stringers running 9 ft forward to the footwell area under the dash. I have no idea what the original stringer layout was. Do you know, does the green boat have the original stringer layout or are they specific for the (much stronger) carbon fiber hull?

Doug right? Great looking boat! Looks a lot more than 1 foot longer than the 15. Watch those channel markers! ;^)

We have a '65 143 Jetflite on deck. Finishing a Carlson C500 presently.
Yeah I miss the 153 too. (To my eternal shame, and shoulder pain ...)
Got a cowl for the ""88 Extra Special" painted to match the 16R. Just need the correct external latches. Ordered the wrong ones. Duh.
Post some pics after work.'71 Glastron V153 - Composite rebuild - Unceremoniously wrecked

Yo Bernie, the Jetflite's gonna be very cool. Purty much all there, and the windshield's perfect. Plus ya gotta dig the console/molded seats. They only did that for a couple years.
Ba a pop the top resto. Probly pour the transom, knees and stringer(s). He has a 90 horse tower of power. But I'm lobbying for V4 88 special ...'71 Glastron V153 - Composite rebuild - Unceremoniously wrecked
