Even with that date you might still beat me...

I took out the core from the 2 hatches that covered the gas tank and redid it with Divinicell and glassed it back in. What a difference in the weight from the old water soaked plywood to how it is now, there must be a 75lb difference. I had already taken out the plywood from the floor and yesterday I cut to form the divinicell to replace it and get it glassed back in.. How I wish the I had a large enough shed/garage like some here have since you have to plan around the weather here...Today it's raining hard and looks like rain till Tuesday. No pics yet, but some to follow.

I have a question on the layup schedule for the floor.
I was planning on reusing the skins that I took off but they are in poor condition so I would like to replace it all with new mat, fair it and then paint/non skid

Suggestions are needed

I have a pictur of a section of floor in my 25. It is 5/16" glass on top. I don't know the schedule. But I suspect there is a lot of woven roving in there and mat on top? That sounds like 8 or so layers of 1708 - which is my favorite to work with. Ideally you would get 0,90 -45 and +45 layers alternating to get a quasi isotropic laminate, but if you are at least not all 0-90, and have some mat, that's a good start

Not sure if this helps or not;
Original deck schedule for early ‘70s 23’ Sceptre; top to bottom (from Feb ’73 Boating, Boat Test #207)
Gelcoat
1 layer 3/4 oz mat
2 layers of 1 ½ oz mat
1 layer 22 oz mat
1 layer of 1 ½ oz mat
3/8” end grain balsa
1 layer of 1 ½ oz mat
1 layer of 22 oz roving

Sounds like yours might be similar but with plywood instead of balsa?

Soap up your car but don't rinse it off
