IMHO the core does not need to be a solid piece. The fiberglass is the strength. the core is stiffness. Todays boats use a foam core typically 8 lb. density that you can break with your bare hands. Intrepid has been using it for over 20 years. The reason plywood was used originally is thats all they had as foam core was not known.
