I have my STV's on hold due to lack of heated space large enough. I have a deck and finished hull but haven't popped them out of the molds yet, probably summer time thing if I don't end up buying another house this year, and I will have some time to work on them.
This boat was Ryan Carson's boat he had for sale which I bought seeing it would be a straight forward job to rebuild, and it will be a good home for my 2.5 engine to run around this summer.
The boat arrived some what like you see it,
I will be rebuilding it with balsa core in the floor and Nidacore stringers and marine ply transom with Nidacore laminated between them.
trying to keep it light as possible even tho it is a heavy boat.
I have removed the rest of the rotten core ( other then the a 2 foot section at the bow on the deck which I will take care of one the stringers and transom are in)
The hull only had thee couple areas of rot, I checked most everywhere else and it all dry.
I will be laying the rest of the core tonight with corebond B72 which is a mixture of ester resin and a "filler" type which will bond the core and fill air gaps and add strength to the lamination.
also cut up my nidacore for stringer, while I was waiting for the shop to heat up.
