    Looks like there is a Pittsburgh, PA boat restorer that has dealt with Hydrodynes (looks like they have two boats under their belt). I have not contacted them, or dealt with them but judging from the pics, they are going the distance (as in core replacement). I don't know if the replacement done in end-grain balsa but the width of the core pieces look a little wide for the hull shape.

    Also, Not a big fan of the later 1970's/80's metal flake (yes the 1885 i/o that I own has some of this) but this appears to be original gel which I kinda like and appreciate in the end. The trailer that they show really should be changed out to one with bunks.

    Here is the link.

    This is end grain balsa core material. It should be dipped in resin before installation.
