    First of all that bump you're talking about might be a lifting design of the bottom. Think twice before you remove something that doesn't need to be removed.
    Also why don't you just rent a boat this year just put gas and go. You should try and complete the hull before snow drops. You might wreck the hull using it not support properly with sealed stringers.
    Also are you planning to put an engine right after you did the transom? Ok I'll be here to see the progress I love those Hydrostream.
    Technology back then was not as it is today with materials like Vinylester resin or even coosa.

    I am all to familiar with the ICW the runs from Miami to deep in the keys. Born and raised running those waters. Had a lot of seat time in a 16' Checkmate with a 2.4 Merc. Spent many a day on the sandbar there at Islamorada. Running that Stream with a possible soft core is not a good idea...jmo and $.02

    Lots of boats run the ICW, some big and some not. Lots of pressure crossing large wakes on the hull, more so with a soft core.

    Seems like the XT and YT hulls were prone to structural problems anyway. Voids under the core and other questionable construction issues. Definitely fix the core before rigging!

    I'm curious, what speed would a soft bottom hull disintegrate at?

    why wait for it to disintegrate just fix it as much epoxy as it will allow if you plan on going over 50 that hull should be as hard as a rock!

    Today I removed the hump. Uncovered lots of info. The hump (post #23) is pure resin. After I removed the hump of pure resin, I've uncovered the original factory transom, all black and rotting....or should I say rotten to the core?....muhahahaha

    ...just thinking ahead...

    The Vegas XT has technical angles and the transom does not have 90* angles
