I have no objection to modern materials in the hull, but I'd not buy any
boat with foam in between the hull skins.

Why?


I've read that pounding eventually destroys the foam's
structure/strength, leading to excessive hull flex.
Yep. That's what I remember reading.

There's that, there's the thinner skins on each side, there's the water
that can get between the foam and the skins when the skins work...
