Re: Pad delmaination
Many, and they're all ugly... Most pictures I've seen were taken when it was already too late, it will blow a boat apart at speed. If Hydrostream Canada truly rebuilt this boat, the seller should provide a reciept or work order detailing repairs. I'd be cautious at this point if I were you....

Re: Pad delmaination
Plus im pretty sure John would remember the boat in his shop and also, I dont think john would only repair just the stringers and floor and leave a wet core what so ever.idvette wrote:If Hydrostream Canada truly rebuilt this boat, the seller should provide a reciept or work order detailing repairs.
I can pretty much bet that if the floor and especially the stringers were replaced and the core was never touched, its soaking wet! You have any pictures of the boat and the spot in question?

Re: Pad delmaination
I dont know whos boat this is but it is a Hydrostream Vector that has delaminated right next to the pad. Im sure this didnt look like nothing more then a chip when he went out and came home looking like this. This guy was very lucky to have caught it before his next outing or he and his boat would be at the bottom of the drink.

Re: Pad delmaination
That's one of my friends vector. Been in it and drove it many times. We never even saw a chip in the gel before the delam happened. Just noticed the flood inside the boat before shoving off the beach.Better get that hull checked out real well before you hand over any cash. Replacing the core is a big, big job.

Re: Pad delmaination
Plus, it's much easier to replace the core before delamination happens. A lot more work is involved if you have to flip the boat over to repair the bottom and do a core.
