Re: Pad delmaination
If I was to go under the boat and push hard on it, would it feel mushy? or flake?

Re: Pad delmaination
I just realized, that is QuarterHorses Vector isnt it? I think there is a topic on here about it that he posted.nosboss wrote: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.

Here is a perfect example of what can happen with a rotten core (And this was said to be recored and it wasnt) - http://www.hydrostreamforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1980&p=15957#p15957

Re: Pad delmaination
Yes, that is quarterhorse's boat. The recore job that was done by the pro was done correct. The problem is that only one side was re-cored. The other side delaminated on quarterhorse. If I remember correctly, the pad wasn't re-cored the first time either.

Re: Pad delmaination

Re: Pad delmaination
That what it was. Only one side was done on it. Either way, Thats what a rotten/soft core will get ya eventually.

Re: Pad delmaination
A perfect example of why you should do a complete core if any of it is wet or damaged.
