IF THE CORE IS SOLID AND DRY IN THE FRONT, LEAVE THAT AREA IN. WORK AROUND IT. THIS IS NOT A GRAND PIANO. THIS IS A CORE IN A PRODUCTION BOAT, THAT EVEN WITH RUDIMENTARY ARCHAIC MATERIALS DONE 30 YEARS AGO, IS STILL GOOD. GRIND A 12/1 BEVEL AROUND THE GOOD AREA, AND DO ALL THE BAD CORE. AS LONG AS THE THICKNESS IN THE SAME WITH THE NEW CORE, THE SAME RIGIDITY EXISTS. THE ONLY WAY THE BOW AREA OF CORE IN A HYDROSTREAM GETS WET IS IF THE BOAT IS LEFT WITH WATER IN IT AND THE NOSE DOWN. THE REASON THE SEATS AND EVERYTHING BEHIND GET WET IS BECAUSE OF THE DRAIN HOLE NEAR THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS FEET THAT DUMPS WATER RIGHT ONTO THE CORE, THAT IS OFTEN EXPOSED. IF THE NOSE IS STORED WAY UP, AND THE BOAT IS NEVER LEFT IN THE WATER FOR LONG, GOOD CHANCE A STREAM WILL SURVIVE WITH A SOLID CORE. MY 84 VIPER HAS A SOLID CORE, CLEAN AND DRY WOOD.
