I would talk to a good fiberglass person. Good boats these days are not using balsa coring but a synthetic that won’t rot (one way to differentiate quality on newer boats).

Under the roving there is balsa (mostly rotted) bonded to the inside surface of the hull. Is it best to replace with identical new balsa core matting or does anyone have recommendations on some other method of stiffening the hull in this location. Thanks Paul D.
