85 Canadian Edition Valero. It has a small (3/8)concave shape to the pad. Is this "factory" or the result of the bad core?
If I am going to make it flat what would be the best way to change it?
Grind off gel coat and add material to get the flat surface?
Wondering how to post images or maybe change your avatar or maybe something else?

Re: 85 Valero Pad
Can you post a picture?
I know my Viper had a concave.
I have a text into Phil Blomquist who has a Valero. He should let me know or chime in soon.
I wouldn't think a bad core would concave a pad evenly down the length of the hull.
If you decide to fill it in, I would grind with 16 to 24 grit to roughen up the surface and add strips of fiberglass to build up. (mat or 1708). Like bondo on a car body repair.... Keep the filler as thin as possible.
