The interiors are cheaply constructed. I have personally seen the bottom layers of fiberglass from a brand new 50 footer that was damaged when it fell of a travel lift at another marina here in town, and I can tell you it is only about 50% thicker than the bottom of a V! Now for a 50 footer to have a bottom barely thicker than a 20 footer says something poor about that construction. By the way the 50' was dropped into the water from about 6' when a strap on the travel lift snapped. It totalled the boat. I don't know, maybe they built them stronger back when. The new ones are crap, and usually the only way you can get rid of them is to trade them in for another one at the dealer. My biggest problem is that they are just soooooooo generic. No style.
