I understand solid glass is the way to go, but now there are very few even "high quality" boat builders using solid glass in their cores. Only ones I know that are not using some kind of "high-tech composite" is regulator. Contender has balsa cores, yellowfin is composite-foam like the new seacrafts.

Still, wish there was a 27' old seacraft model. My 25' just seems like a 23 with a swim platform.

The decks perhaps, but certainly not below the waterline. I do not think above either but I am not 100% I would check but my 25 Contender is under shrink. The deck cap and deck is cored but not all Balsa, some balsa here some marine ply over there ad foam core inbetween [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
