Wood in Hull?
 
Hi; Joined this forum so you knowledgable guys could answer a querstion I have about the V20 hulls - did Wellcraft use wood imbedded in the fiberglass in these hulls?
I have a cottage where on of these boats might be ideal, but I don't like the idea of an older hull with wood wrapped in glass - had to bury one of those in the past (a Fiberform).
Lots of beauties on this site; I hope to end with a fine example someday.
Thanks for any info.

Welcome to the board!!

Stringers, transoms, Bulk heads, deck are wood, hull its self is all glass. How old is the boat?? has it been covered? tilted back with drain removed to allow water out?

It will make you a great boat if its not to far gone!! Ck it out and let us know, all has been repaired here so you can ask all you need to know.

Were are you from?

Good Luck!

Yeah it's got wood...nearly all the fiberglass hulls of the day were cored with wood as are many top line boats today, including Pursuit and others...go for it!!...
