Hydrostream core

[Capt.Insane-o]

OG core was 1/2 inch and laid up worse than a 1983 bayliner over the top.

Looking at different core options I'm in Ontario and is a company near by that has a core material called honeycomb polypropylene does anyone have experience with this material?

Too bad you couldn't get Speath to do it being as you're about a 1/2 hour from his shop.He's the Man in Canada for Stream.

Wasn't doubting your abilities Bud and I get having the money for fuel later would be good.Just thinking it would be great to have the guy that built the Streams here and does awesome work do it for anyone.Especially us being so close.Wasn't my intent to upset you.

Not upset at all no worries

Got the jig built and the stream lifted into it now I can start the itchy part lol

Composites Canada and Noah’s marine (both in Toronto) have a variety of cores suitable for your boat. Nida Core is a brand of polypropylene honeycomb core that both sell. I’m not convinced you’d want to use that for the hull core; floor or semi-structural areas like seat bases, sure. Talk to JP Pozzo at Composites Canada (senior tech rep), he was a boat builder and will steer you in the right direction. Personally I would look at the better foams like the Divinycell and Corecell products for a balsa replacement.

And this is y the cores should always be redone in hydrostreams the core is so saturated I can actually squeeze water out of it.

Well there is not very much good balsa left in that core still need to get the pad core but definitely making progress

Nice and rotten makes it easy to tear out. Good thing you're doing the job before you got hurt driving a rotten boat!
