Very nice, I like the idea of the hinged access behind the seat.

Didn't turn out awful for somebody who doesn't do this kind of work

Well for some reason I can't find a lot of my pics. Here are how my center stringers/knees started out anyway. I built "wings" off the sides and tied them in with "outrigger" strakes at the edge of the boat.

Not sure when the de-lam happened. I was making passes on the river and had it beached. I went to push off and found water in the boat by the fuel cells which wasn't normal. Flew back to the ramp and then found it.

Altoona, Iowa is where Prairie Meadows is at. I normally boat on the Des Moines River or Saylorville Lake. :)

I'll see if I can get some photos snapped of the bench seat and my stringer set up for everybody.

If I end up doing this again I know I can do it WAY better than this one turned out. I was just under a DUMB time crunch so I short cutted my own ideas and am not the happiest about it, but she's flying away right now. :)

And one more thing, can you post some pics of your build (new stringers, etc.)? Thanks -Chris

Also, Altoona sounds familiar. My wife has family in Prairie City, Iowa and her Grandfather works at Prairie Meadows; seems like one of those is close to Altoona. Where around there do you run the Stream?

Very interesting! So when did the delamination occur, during a high speed pass? Was it slow or gradual (I think I know the answer)? How did the boat react once the delamination occured? I assume it stayed bottom down?

I agree with your stratedgy of repair- extra glass and stringers, no core. I did something similar on my Viper.

Keep us posted! -Chris
