It is a honey bee problem. Apparently this old (OLD!) Venture cat was a beehive in the Arizona desert for 3 or 4 years before we got it. The hulls are really solid, but one weighed a lot more than the other. When the honey got in the way of the fiberglass repair, we decided we had to remove it. Besides, it was starting to stink. It's a really "sweet" boat. We found a partial solution... If you lay 100' of garden hose in the sun in Phoenix, you can then shoot almost boiling water in at high pressure and melt the honey and blast the honeycomb to pieces. We still may have problems getting West system epoxy to stick to the honey, but, hey... it's a 1974 Venture cat. (anyone have a free trampoline?)
