Restoring a 1981 256 Wahoo. Looking to see if there are any known issues I should be looking for? One question I have is, are the Toe Rails cored with wood?

Can't help with your core question but wasn't the Wahoo the inboard powered version of the sailfish. I enjoy seeing the older Gradys being restored. All the best with your project. I recently think I saw a Wahoo project on Marletplace.

The toe rails are usually plastic but its an older model. A lot of wood coring just about everywhere in that boat. Retro can be done though.

The Wahoo was the only inboard made, it looks like 1981 -1982. I looks like they made around 62 of them from what info I could gather. Thanks for the reply.
