This is the grid work that will be glassed in as soon as the material arrives. Just have to prep the whole inside again. Yippy!

Looking good. Going with no core like Beefkids old vector?

I do have pics of it somewhere I will post as soon as I find em.

Thats correct, no core going back into this hull. I know this kind of resto is not new, but its also not used very often.

Thats awesome. I wish I would have seen Beefs Vector and how he had Scott (AFR) do his with no core as I would have went the same route. Pretty much same exact thing you are doing.

Cant wait to see how it turns out. :boating:

Nice snag on the 'Stream!

The ideas for stringers keep getting better and better. I think Jason's set up is a bit better than what I did in my Vector, I think the next one I do may just "bullet proof" the design a little more. I'm not affraid of either my boat or his coming apart. Mine has seen some air time out of the water "not intended" and has no signs of cracking.

Yeah thanks, 9 hours round trip, but the price was right. It sat in a barn in Fort Wayne IN for the last 12 years. Bill
