The boat is the GV11 lengthened to 12 ft. The GV11 is a very roomy boat for it's size and it's fast with moderate pow...

One of Uniflite's claim to fame was the use of a fire retardant resin (Hetron). Assuming your Pup was built with this material, have you had any problems bonding modern epoxy to that half century old unique resin?
