I cut the aft livewell out to get access to the floor. Every bit of wood is rotten. I’m glad I dig into the transom, it was worse than I thought.

I’m not going to split the hull, I’ll piece the splash well back together and paint the top cap at a later date.

Alaskastreamin, I’m glad I saw where you mentioned vinyl ester doesn’t cure in thin layers, that potentially saved me from grinding out new core.

That’s not a comp hull is it? Or did you cut out the rear livewell? Plans to split it?

Looking forward to more progress pics, I have an ‘81 Varmint!

Edit: I saw on Facebook he cut the rear livewell out. Not a comp...

Those are cool boats. Glad to see you saving it.
Hope you start a thread in the restoration section. I know we would all like to watch your build. We've all been thru it.

Here’s a few. Just started tearing into the floor and getting ready to do the core.

Just thought I’d stop in and introduce myself. First time hydrostream owner, but not new to boats. About to start restoring my ‘77 varmint. My other ride is a 1988 reaction 19.
