76 vector restore

[kytekeith]

I am looking at NidaCore H8PP honeycomb . Has anyone out there used this kinda stuff.??

[Hippie459MN]

Whats the cost difference on that vs standard core? I thought about going with that as well to avoid any future rot but Im not sure what I am going to do just yet.

Havn't checked yet. still gathering information. It looks like pretty good stuff. You can get free samples online.

wow it look like a lot of work!!!!!!!!!!!

just bought a1980 Vector needs recore and floor . has a 115 Evenrude .

I would look more at a closed cell type. The strength comes more from the laminant, not the matrial used. Anything that soaks up a lot of resin is going to weigh a ton. jmo

Micro48 do you plan on doing the work yourself? What year is the 115? What speed will it go?

Keith, If your looking for good answer's on What core to use etc, Post this on Screamandfly.com. You will get a very good and honest opinion from the experts. Brandon

Hey Keith, you've come a long way! the worst looks almost over...the fun is laying new composites down. I would also look at Owens Knytex if Nida does not work out for you. I have used the NidaFoam with good results. it does saturate if resin is heavily applied though it doesn't need much to perform as designed. Scream and Fly is knowledge central for this topic. I have to agree about the motor.....go get it!
nice job! take care..

Yes, the grinding is the worst!
