dorourke is on a distinguished road
The boat is an S2 8.0B and not well recognised by the S2 community, although I am flattered.

I fear the method of pealing back the interior combing and re coring for the labor intensiveness of the project. Never the less, this boat would be worth the effort to me, I value this thing, the handling as well as the stability makes any passage a compfortable one.

I have heard many of the end of the road comments on this topic, but what can it hurt to try one more thing before gutting the core. Even if this is a failed attempt I can then surelly say it can't be done.

I do have a plan 'B', and that is to gut the aria involved and re-seal it with a stable foam replacement, I'm trying to do this the cheepest way first. If I don't ask then I have no leads.
