Conversion help?

[Jairoc23]

I managed to get my hands on a old school Dumas Competiton Deep Vee 40 hull. I took most of the first coat of red paint off and still have two different color coats to go and removed hardware. Since I am still new to this I need a llittle help. I considered a motor (either leopard 730kv or 1000kv), taking out the subsurface outdrive and putting a stinger on. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Got the old paint off but b4 I reglass some cracks and blemishes, I noticed the hull is extremely heavy in the bow. made a cut along the seam, previous owner used spray foam that got wet. Any ideas on how to get this out without ripping the hull apart

you MIGHT try using just plain Gasoline poured up in the nose.

I know that most foams do not like it and desolve.

If that does work for you make sure and WASH out all the gas/junk using dish washing soap.

might also try getting something up there and actually chunking the old stuff out.

that is the main reason I do NOT like using the spray foams for flotation. It tends to suck up
water over time.

let gas sit in hull for a week, still nothing. cut a 6x6 square into top of hull and began pulling out foam. This is the aftermath......

Try using acetone instead of gasoline.
