    There is core in there and I think factory is 1/2 inch if I remember right. Thats what has been in almost every stream I have seen, mine included.

    thanks, good to know

    it makes sense because the transom drain plug is around 1" higher than the hull bottom (of the pad)

    if the Hydrostream builders were consistent, the skin above the pad's core should be the same as the skin cover the foam in the sponsons?

    Thats funny right there. LoL You would think but these things werent built all that well with how fast Howard was cranking them out and consistency was not a thing really. They were built to look good and go fast inexpensively and Howard even said he didnt expect to see them around even 20 years later and here we are, over 40 years later and people still fixin em up like crazy. Some years were built better, heck even some days they were built better than other days. My Vector has poorly matted glass that was dry in a lot of places and some areas had thicker glass over the core than other areas.

    yeah exactly,

    "yes we got core, now cover that up!...no one will ever see it"


    I'm glad to see the core, I'm not glad to embark on more work, but we're given another chance to make this hull better

    def no more wood will be placed in this hull
