Composite stringer grids
Many manufacturers are touting "no wood/no rot" construction, and some are
using a composite grid system (fiberglass over some type of foam) to replace traditional hull stringers and forms. Several bay boats I am interested in use this type of construction. Of course, from a marketing perspective, it sounds great. But I'd be interested in some real world opinions. Is such a boat less prone to flex? Does it result in a more solid boat? Are there other problems to be aware of? Any pre-purchase inspections that can be accomplished, assuming it's even possible to see the below-deck structure? Comments appreciated. -- Rich Stern www.nitroowners.com - The Nitro and Tracker Owners Web Site www.mypontoon.com - The Pontoon Boat Web Site www.fishingreportdatabase.com - The Fishing Report Database www.mysporttrac.com - The Sport Trac Web Site |
