It was suppopsed to have been done by a pro. He did a REALLY good job of putting the floor back down and half way patching it in a bad "spot" of core. When I removed all of his glass work, I found more rotten core. Trust me, if BJ paid much to have that done, he got taken to the cleaners and I feel bad for him.

Let's see some pics. BTW, you know how to know if a Hydrostream needs a core right? It says "Hydrostream". They all need 'em unless it's been documented that it's all been done and done right. I didn't put core back in rather put a layer of 1708 down and put stringers in. My boat has since made trips on WAY too rough of water and been completely out of the water more than a few times. No cracks other than my back haha.

So you no longer have a core? Did you run an extra set of stringers at all or just double up the 1708 or both? I would think 1 layer if 1708 would be no where near enough. But then again, Im no expert in the fiberglass world. lol

I have 4 stringers in the boat that run from the transom to under the dash. I have a single center stringer than runs 5 feet forward from there down the keel. The floor triangulates the load the stringers take. My center stringers have knees that are part of the stringer. I have 1708 over the tops of the stringers and over the floor.

Dustin, How about them pictures of your coreless set up. Im having to seriously rethink my Vulture and looking at options before I cut it into many little pieces and put in in the dumpster.
