Absolute must read!

: Pascoe may be opinionated and outspoken but he is also a well respected marine professional with a great deal of experience. I particularly respect him for his statement that they put a layer of roving on the INSIDE to try to fool the surveyors into thinking it's real fiberglass, then just coat the outside with gelcoat over the chopper gun crapware the hull is made of. I'm amazed the moguls haven't had him killed....He's gotta be costing them big money. I met a black worker in a little diner I like to breakfast in, here in Charleston where many boats are made. He ran the chopper gun for several of them over the years, gotta be the worst job in the plant. I asked him how long the fibers were that came out of the chopper gun spraying into the mold. He said 1/4 to 1/2" long. How in hell does that make a hull strong? Yecch....goosebumps thinking about banging it into a bouy at 20. Someone at CG has gotta be takin' a bribe to let this crap float in the waterways. |
