the few cored hulls I have seen with holes in them seem to have very thin fiberglass on each side of the coring material. That's the whole idea of course, cut down on the amount of heavy fiberglass by substituting a lightweight core, a good concept as long as the skins stay glued on and the core is undamaged. It is sort of like a cardboard box however, surprisingly strong right up until the core gives way, then it's junk. |

Even without the damage it is probably worthless. I do see a similar age 27' Morgan (good boat) for sale here (NW FL) for $3800. |
