From what I have seen, Seacast is for low powered non-performance boats. Not ones made to run 80+ mph. Also I have always seen it used as a means to band-aid a repair. I have never personally used the stuff, nor will I ever in a performance boat, and I have never seen one person recommend it in a performance application, ever. Replace it with wood, or composite (coosa board). I have seen 100's of performance boat restos and not one of them has used the stuff that I have seen. Now, I'm not saying it wont work cause I have never used the stuff, but I also wont put my trust in it at 80+ mph.

Yea just don't have a pic of it. It's on top of the pad and on the out side of the stringers. What's your thoughts on the Seacast? I was turned on to it by a few friend using in for there transom also I'm hydrostreams.

Was looking at your pictures again, did you put core down the pad and on the outside of your stringers? Also, I hope them stringers are marine grade wood.

Welcome to the forum. :)

Looks good... But that seacast... I personally would not use that stuff, especially on a performance hull like a Hydrostream. Thats just me though. Honestly, I think you are the first person I have heard of use that stuff on a hydrostream/performance hull.

87 Vector project

I'm in the process of fully going through a 87 vector which is my first Hydrostream. I've completed the core with 1/2 balsa from transom to the tip of the bow. Replaced transom with Seacast. Finally cut and layied in the floor out of 3/4" marine ply. And while looking through vector projects I see that the floor in my vector seems a lot slimmer then most vector, That seem way wider than mine. Can any body inform me why this is??? Thanks
