Heard that numerous times.
The manufacturers don't talk about it much though.
Here's a Merc/Rude/Yammie 250 test done in 2003.
They used "identical" factory new Stratos 201 Pro XL hulls.

with just 3 hulls the weight variance was a bit over 5%.


I wonder how much environmental issues like humidity and air temp
during the layup/resin process add to this?

Be interesting to look into.


I guess this leads to the "specifications subject to change without
notice" verbiage we see all of the time?
