Default Got a two piece boat?

Maxum is Brunswick...similar to Sea Ray. They use chopped glass...not
fiberglass mat.

Same with my MaXum. When I installed the windlass, the foredeck turned out
to be 1" thick. Solid glass.

Indeed. I admire the glossiness of my gelcoated inner hull all the time,
knowing that if there were problems or a leak between the hull/deck
joint, I'd know about it.

Last week I watched a rigger drill a hole through the bottom of a Parker
so he could install a second bronze pick-up and valve. The circle he cut
out was 7/8" of an inch thick. No foam, no balsa. Just layer after layer
of fiberglass and resin.
