Core thickness

[Seapig100]

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?

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.

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?

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.

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

Nobody knows how thick the back decks are?

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.

My 1967 34C is 3/4" thick I know from experience

If you don't want to spend a lot for foam use Nida core
