how much change do i have in my pocket?, just joking , hard to say by looking, if you can get a piece and burn it with a lighter if it smells sweet its polyester more than likly its poly , what year is the boat? it could be skined with vinyalester and the rest with poly,

It is a 1981. Yep smells sweet when burned.

The boat was made in kelowna. I am in Fernie B.C.

Should I grind out all the poly that was used during the last repair,(using the word repair very loosely), and get back to the original material?

yep get rid of that crap dont be shy with the grinder

Thats what I figured and was hoping. The ahem "repair" people used gobs of it. There is even a chunk the size of a baseball just stuck to the hull between stringers.
