Where does she work at or is she doing it on the side? If she was an experienced boat repair person she would know what to do and that would be to put it back just the way it was. The reason the hydrostreams rotted out was from the core not getting sealed up properly from the factory and therefor water was able to get in and penetrate the wood. Just put it back together the way it was and seal it up good and you will have no worries for years and years to come.

:agree:

Here are some pics another board members Vipers. You've done the hard work already, young man. I encourage you to finish it with high quality materials. Down the road (or down the shoreline,) you'll be glad you did. :up:

viper needs core through out bottom of hull. underneath one gunnel across to the other. the floor sits in the groove or floor register across and on top the stringers.

Thanks and i see you put board down the side of the stringers, the vipers dont need that right? just glass? and one piece middle of stringers (core) and ontop of them (floor)?

You can run a butt load of 1708 in there but why? When sealed correctly it wont get wet so there is no worry there. And plus all that fiberglass you will need to get the same strength will far outweigh balsa core.

Long story short, Just use balsa core. Its lighter, stronger, and way faster to put down. Just seal it up good and there will be no worries of it rotting out.

Here is an ok picture of my Vulture with the core down the pad.

:slap:

You can use a variety of coring materials for a core. If you don't want wood, there is foam material made especially for this. Your boat was designed to have a core. It needs a proper core.
