good post & observations. i think there are 2 more factors that play into this. my hull was built in the mid 80's so the technology of fiberglass was reletively new. i don't think they knew how long glass would last if taken care of. also i think most people get rid of boats in 3 to 5 years, either moving up ,down, or out of the boating picture. i don't know how many friends we have that we saw every weekend out and about, now when we see them (at walmart or home depot) they say " Wow are ya'll still doing that!". that's the good thing about this forum, we all appreciate & enjoy a good idea, the v-20 hull.
