I emailed Maverick Boats, manufacturer of Pathfinder, Hewes, and Maverick boats, with this.......let's see what I get for a response.

"This question is most likely best served by someone with technical knowledge.

I have a close personal friend who is interested in purchasing your Pathfinder 2300, as am I.
One of the MAJOR concerns most people have been telling him about is the way the hull is manufactured. They say that this hull is manufactured with "cored hull" which, in time, will absorb water/moisture. This may happen from simple things such as screws being installed, age, etc. Could you please supply me with some detailed information regarding this subject? This would be greatly appreciated and help us make a determination on your product. I would ask the local dealer but I assure you, they are clueless about this question. I look forward to your response and thank you in advance."
