I recently walked on a balsa cored below (and above) the water boat, which had not(to my knowledge) been hit by a car.
You have 3 separate issues:1. Why it broke a propshaft and how well that was resolved, 2.Should you buy a "cored below water" boat with or without damage history,3.The state of the cored hull.
Pic 3 does not fill me with confidence. You have the advantage of viewing the exposed coring. I`ve not seen it before so I`m guessing, but that does not look good to me. When was the pic taken,? just after impact. Is the core condition fresh or old, it looks old to me.
As above,I come to this with a pre-existing view about cored hulls.
