I love building and restoring things. I’m taking your advice on the core forward of the floor and running it up to the body line. Probably do the same stringer/footwell design too because you did a great job and I don’t know what else to do there lol. Speaking of stringers do you have a measurement handy from the transom to the footwell ribs? I’m not sure where to place those

Cores done. Going to add the pieces at the front of the floor up to the chine as well. We will fit those after mocking up the floor to get a good fit. Can’t say enough good about the core bond. Very helpful wherever there’s a void or gap just add more and done. Also still have to fair in the edges before glassing. We did a tiny bit of this with leftover mixed cb at the front of the pad

Finally back at this. We decided to add the second layer of core in the pad like tenels/outa site. Did a layer of 1708 over the first layer then core bonded in the second. Worked the corebond into every nook and cranny too we really packed the voids up tight in the entire pad area which made me feel a lot better about durability. Plus it looks much better and will be a lot easier for me to glass over now. Still have to bond the front edges of core you can see them pre-fit in the second pic ( up to the body line Tony ) but I think we will be glassing over the core within the next few days.

Looks good! I like how you came wider with the core in front of the floor. I wish I did that to mine.

Currently sitting at work and nothing is on fire so I have some time haha.

When we started we had six weeks that looked to be wide open. We thought we could at least get the hull/core/floor done. Then life happened. I started to type it all out but two paragraphs deep and half the story left I deleted it I’m sure you all know how life gets in the way of the best laid plans. Anyways we have a few days now to make a push, let’s see how we do

I know all too well how stuff comes up. The majority of the work done on mine happened in 1-2 hour work sessions. There were months where I never touched the boat, thats life. Seems like 70% of build threads end that way, new house, move, kids, whatever, boat project is the first on the back burner, and rightfully so.

I thought 4 weeks on mine and done! You know just hammer down everyday. 12 years later it hit the water, 13 years later and I am thinking about finishing the floor. Haha. Use it every weekend just need to finish it off. Haha. But this one is an amazing build Tony. Super nice

Yep so true. Also for what it’s worth we added the second layer of core oriented perpendicular to the first one. First layer rectangles sideways, second layer rectangles lengthwise. Not sure if it will make it any stronger but it seemed the better way when we did it. Just like bricks we offset the seams.
That’s got to be worth a few mph extraHydrostream dreamin

When it's done, the confidence you will have in this boat will make all the work worth it.

Yes indeed thats the reward is to be able to run hard and focus on the driving not worrying about the hull hanging together. Got the front core in today, fairing remains and glass over it. Then onto stringers
