Thanks Classic Sea Craft and all members here for having

[bly]

All this info and a wealth of personal knowledge available here in one place. I am new here but have owned and repaired many a sea craft in my 59 years of life and boating. I assisted one of my sons Lonesurfer 87 a member here in his 20 ft very custom sea craft 2 years ago. I have always been torn between the 233 formula hull and the very different 20 and 23 sea craft hull that both give about the best ride a hull in this size can give. I have also been very involved in both boat building and boat repairs and modifications for many years. I hope I can add some valuable info here to make up for all the info and experience that is available on this site. One thing I hope to bring here is that in the past I and many others used plywood. and it can be used properly. I now prefer both coosa and penske board over plywood. I also believe balsa cores are not good for boats. Too many people are adding or repairing things on boats that end up drilling into and not sealing or bedding screws that penetrate into where both balsa and plywood is under glass. Thanks again classic sea craft and all members. I will start a thread in a couple days on the very custom 20 I have just started this week. There was actually a chicken living and laying eggs in the center console of this boat before I started on it. I hope she found a better home?
