I should have been more specific given some of the juvenile responses. I was
speaking of the wood that is used in the structural coring, not the
aesthetic cabinetry/flooring. Wrapping fiberglass around wood that could be
subject to seepage/leakage/rot may have been the best way twenty-five years
ago, but with the low-cost composite type materials available on the market
today, using wood in lieu of these composites doesn't make sense from a
layman point of view. And given the amount of surveys that show wood rot in
coring areas, it would seem that not using wood would be a huge marketing
tool for the boat builder. As for the cost advantage, perhaps some of you
haven't seen the price of plywood lately! That said, if you wise guys didn't
know the answer, all you had to do was just say so?
