    Source for 1.5" Balsa Core

    The last post I can find on the topic (2017) shows sources which no longer have 1.5" balsa core available. This is the thickness I need for repairs to the hull of my 2002 22' cruiser. I can't find anything online except 4x8 sheets for $600 plus shipping. I need a 2x4 sheet an would prefer...

    Another Gas Tank Cleat Srew Hole Repair Post

    I have a couple of questions. I have an old Protimeter Surveymaster that I paid over $500 for 24 years ago. I have long probes for it so I was able to survey the sole without penetration as well as drill test holes and verify what my survey readings meant. I mapped out where the sole is wet...

    C-Dory Owners in Oregon/Washington?

    I have pretty much convinced myself that a C-Dory is going to be our first offshore boat but I have never actually gone out in one. Just curious if anyone has a 22', 25' or Tomcat I could hitch a ride on (hopefully offshore) sometime? Even just out and back would be amazing. Or if someone has...

    Is a Marine Survey of an older C-Dory worth it?

    I am looking to buy the 1987 22' Cruiser offered for sale on this site at http://www.c-brats.com/viewtopic.php?t=31762 I am entirely new to purchasing fiberglass boats. I looked this boat over and it seems solid but given the age I am still nervous about core deterioration. A local surveyor...
