Good stuff Flex, there are lots of great new composites coming out time after time,mostly for the better of the environment,not necessarily for strength for the consumer..similer to paints and adhesives of nowadays.structurely, you cant beat the stiffness, and screw holding of modern marine ply wood coated both sides with glass such as 1708, that's strength !at least 6 glue up layers with 1/2 ply ,more on 3/4,and ,nothing like AC house glue up.Foam, divinicell,corecell, coosa,or balsa are also great products to use in a certain parts of the boat.you are also counting on the glass over, on this stuff,and not much else,besides foam or balsa for strength .maybe a 1/8 "glasscenter on the good stuff.Transom use ,maybe, various bulkheads,ok.Floors,OK,as long as you don't have to put a screw into it more then twice or more....If you want a screw to hold,&be confident it will,more than once,put it into glassed over plywood,its even better than solid glass, and easier to fix after the screw strips in the other stuff. did Seacraft , in the past use marine wood,?doubt it,not that checkerboard chit I seen and delt with .However, on a NEW boat, it has to be wood free,totally. sorry ,just sayin...
