Hi Dwight, I keep the cutouts from any hole I've made in the boat over the last 12 years. I've added instruments, cut in vents on my transom, hole for shore power electrical, replaced the core around the mast collar, I cut a hole in the solid hull between the cove stripe and the toe rail for a bilge pump exit. Whenever I mount fittings w say 1/4" bolts, I overdrill w 1/2" drill, scrape out the balsa core and epoxy the hole solid, then redrill the right sized hole. I added grabrails to the fiberglass sprayhood. I upgraded my speedo and depth sensors and found the glass in that area to be solid and 3/4" thick. I added 4 solar fans which need a 4" hole thru the deck.
So I have samples of the cockpit walls and transom and hull, and several deck areas.

All vertical walls of cockpit and coachroof and transom are solid laminate, w no core. The fiberglass unit that covers the companionway slides and moonroof has 3/8" balsa. I have samples from these areas.

When replacing failed balsa I have been purchasing 1/2" then sanding it down a little to leave room for epoxy and filler and the new epoxy/glass laminations. If you remove a fastener in the general area of the deck you would be able to verify that C&C did not use different thicknesses in newer designs/builds.
