Thad:

I am no expert in this area, as I am also currently gearing up to replace the balsa on my Red Fish. My plan is to remove the old glass flooring material including all the old balsa from stern to bow. That way I will have a "clean slate" to work with. And yes, it is my intention to glass in new seating support posts at this time.

This thread might help you a bit if you have not already looked at it: www.fiberglassics.com/glassic-forums/main-forum/balsa-core-hull-replacement-guide#20216

Perhaps some of the more experienced members will chime as well.
