    what are you rebuilding? The pad underneath or the interior above the pad?
    I think the pad is normally wood (don't know what kind), glass then gelcoat.
    Make sure you take alot of pics and post them here
    Good luck...and you might get more advice in the Restoration Forum

    I don't think there is any balsa in the pad area. The only balsa that I seen in my '89 175 Starfire was up front in the V section. Check out the pictures of mine in the restoration forum under Skeet'r89's rebuild pic's.
