Default re-coring deck and ballast work

I've only seen it done from above, also. You cut out large sections of
the deck at a time, remove the old core, replace it with new, put the top
back on, glass it into place, Robert's your father's brother.

And how strong do you think those butt joints that used to be continuous
fiberglass are? This is an approach that is either going to look like
hell and be strong or look great and be very weak. Take your choice.

It could be done right but I'm sure you could buy a comparable used boat
for a similar price.

The core is epoxied, the deck is epoxied, the joints are bevelled, taped,
expoxied. Done correctly, it looks great and is quite strong.
