Wood Core versus Composite cores ......

[bjfg144]

I always believed wood was a superior in strength. But some of the new composites coming out. Have me wondering that wood is good. But, the composites put in the right areas of the boat will strengthen the boat without the extra weight. I know in certain areas of the boat wood is required. But seeing some panel of composite with fiberglass already attached to it makes a strong product. I know some of the best boats like Rybovich are still made out of wood. The rich are the only ones that can afford a Rybo,etc. and the upkeep is so much more. I feel I rather have a fiberglass boat in saltwater.
