You know any history of this hull?

I dont see any damage on the outside that would make me think thats the case. Just some stress cracking on the steps and some fwd keel rash... I dont like the box stringers anyway, i think theyre a waste of space! Theyre not delaminated really, the tabbing just gave. Looks like a single layer of 24oz roving slapped in there...

We got it from the manager of Merritt Supply and it sat behind their warehouse a long time. Bottom looks like it was painted royal blue with hullside paint, then a lighter blue antifouling on top.
