I did a carbon inlay in one of these recently for a new club member. The round flotation just pulls out. There is a piece of polystyrene (really!) at the front of the tunnel, take that out too.
First I removed the plastic tray/frame and motors.
Tape over the motor mounts, and it is a good idea to tape the whole boat top to stop inadvertant drops of epoxy resin landing where they don't need to be.
I poured about 30 ml or so of resin into the sponson tips. Do this with the boat standing nose down in a bucket with at least 4" of water to keep the epoxy from getting too hot as it cures.
I cut some carbon cloth for the sponson bottoms, wide enough to come up the sides and from as far forward as I could reach with a brush taped to a stick and back to the motor mounts. I also did some pieces on the sponson insides alongside the motor mounts and to the transoms.
The final piece was across the tunnel, making cut outs to go around the tray mounts.
Do one piece at a time. don't rush and leave to cure. I did them in the evenings so it had 24 hrs before doing the next part.
When done reassemble.
