deck core

Can anybody tell me what chrysler cored the decks of the 1978 c26 with. Also has anyone taken off the rub rail that can give me pointers on not damaging the black vinyl strip or if new vinyl can be had. Tried to find this info in the archives without luck. Thanks for any help. Greg

A big thank you to Alan and Scott. The boat show time with them was fun, Scott is a good cook, and the time on Destiny a great memory. But best of all was making two new great friends. Thank you Alan and Scott for making me feel welcome, hope to get the chance to return the favor in the future.

Is there anyone out there that could count the slots in their tow rail from either the stern or bow to the center of the trailer duals (trunion). My boat is to far forward for proper weight distrubution and this would be much easier than loading and reloading till I get it right. Thanks Greg48 HAVE ...
