I'm not sure Russ. It was posted over on the S&F site a while back. I saved the pictures for posts like this.
I know it's not Ronnies. I believe it's an older picture.

It's hard to say but I will take a guess at 100 hours? I've been told some guys can do it in a weekend but have yet to see it. I enjoy working with fiberglass and have done some extensive projects and at some point in the build I wanted to give up. All that goes away the first time on the water.

Dont take Pete's comment personally, but I will tell you that what he says is 100% truth....and my boat was a prime example of what appeared to be a well kept original....and it was, but the core was still a mess. If there is rot or water in the core above the floor line, then I will almost promise you that the core in the pad area (important because thats where the stringers are :up:) is a mess as well. And thats essentially the same as having a broken back.

The boat looks like the original gel is in excellent shape and its most certainly worth preserving and doing right, time and able body permitting of course! Good luck and nice boat!! :up:
Thanks, I joined here so that I can gain knowledge so nothing taken personally just as a lesson :up: I will be doing the core over now its just a bunch of research to learn exactly what I'm doing, I have a good idea but I want to be completely sure what I'm doing before I start taking things apart. I really wish I could have it ready for spring but at this rate I don't see that happening. How long does it usually take someone to recore a boat their first time?

If it is not in great shape, IT IS TERRIBLE, there are no in betweens. The boat is dangerous.
