Default cored hulls

Any opinions out there on cored hulls as used in power boats? I am looking
at a 33 ft Carver with baltec coring in the hull. The boat is mint but i am
concerned about the coring . Any advice or stories about this type of
construction is appreciated.....


How old is it? Are there any fittings in cored areas? You can find areas of
delamination or saturated coring by sounding.

I don't know about Carver's reputation... there are some sailboat builders who
have a good reputation for longevity of their cored decks and/or hulls, and
others not so much.
