the lay up i would say was average.i had to redo the center bulk head,forward and part of the very front bulk head,and all of the floor and some of the stringers.out of all the work i have done on this boat and others,this was the hardest part,cutting the old rotten wood out and fitting new stuff in.the factory glass work looked clean and not just slapped together,,,,,even in the areas that you could not see.one day i will post pics when finnished.

Well today i received a email back. Basically they said they have no records on what boats were built with what in the early 80's, t as they were all part of the old plant ect ect and no access to any of it. So I still am unsure. However the boat seems to meet the characteristics of a kevlar boat, light light lay up, the blister issues, the dark yellow color( which I know older glass is like this also) Going to try and get the boat to a scale and see what it weights. If it is in the 5-6000 range that will be a good sign.
