this is actually very true, so Hermit, not really sure how that question can be answered. i was always told by Mac Privott at Albemarle when questioning the use of chopper gun is not as good as hand laid glass. his response was "the secret is the man behind the gun, as he knows how/where to apply for maximum strength". all i can say is that boat building materials have highly evolved since the 60s/70s/80s, as so has the techniques. the newer boats have no wood/composite construction, and none of us seems to see any rebuild pics/threads on the newer boats, only the older boats. there should be some merit to that point, even though the tracker era boats "get no love".. mine gets plenty from me. can't wait to see if the transom can hold up with either a 350 or 400R down the road, as they are available in 30" legs as well. no heavier than my current Gen 1 250 Vrod at 670 lbs now.
