Can anyone tell me the thickness of the core material on the bow of my 1969 45 foot sport fish and the thickness of the back deck?

Re: Core thickness
I have a partial case of the 1" material. (Baltec) I think they are 2 ft x 4 ft. If anyone needs it you can have it for 30% of the going price..... Less than full sheets will be free of charge if you buy the rest.
P.S. Must be picked up.... I don't want to be bothered with shipping.

Re: Core thickness
If you are close to Massachusetts I am interested. I want to do these repairs after Labor Day and would like to pre order the material is the thickness standard or did it change boat to boat?

Re: Core thickness
Our 1966 50c has 3/4 inch balsa in the front deck.
Unfortunately we had to replace 18" - 24" perimeter around the outside that got wet.
Used foam instead of balsa, balsa is a little cheaper than foam but I only like to do a repair once.
Can't help with the back deck coring, all good on that front.CRICKET

Re: Core thickness
Thank you, I have a good amount to do so balsa for most then foam at the cleats makes much more sense.

Re: Core thickness
Nobody knows how thick the back decks are?

Re: Core thickness
On my 36C the core is about an inch. But I don't know if they used the same construction schedule for the bigger boats. Most likely they did, but I don't know for a fact.

Re: Core thickness
My 1967 34C is 3/4" thick I know from experience
If you don't want to spend a lot for foam use Nida coreDan
