Default 35s5...superior for her purpose

35s5 deck and bulkheads are honeycomb for light weight and immense
strength. So much for the lightly built deck, Ozzy. Deck problems are
rare on these boats. Only problem I found was due to a dropped mast!

Laminated inner hull units are rot proof and make her extremely stiff,
while saving weight. She has no core to hassle with and meets the same
standards as cored vessels for strength.

Rudder stock is epoxy composite with no reported failures. None!

Deck features special non-skid patterns supperior to standard and a SS
rail that runs the entire length of the deckhouse.

Oh my! What a boat! Swim platform, aft cabin, heat and A/C, nav station
will chart sized surface, ample stowage, huge head, huge cockpit, R&P
steering system....and one of the shortest lists of long term problems
for any production boat ever!

It's not the only thing with a huge head.
