Nomad...while touring the Pursuit plant a few years ago, I asked the same question of Pursuit...this wasn't the "tourist" tour, but one w/the brother of a most respected member of the this forum...here's the answer I got..."I've seen some composite coring waterlogged and looking pretty nasty too.."
So the truth about coring isn't in the coring at all...it's in the integrity of the glass job AROUND the coring...whether it's wood or composite, if the glass surrounding that coring won't hold back the water, whatever the coring material is, will not maintain it's originally intended purpose...wood, OR composite...makes sense to me...if this thread scares you away from a Wellcraft, it should also scare you away from most every boat out there...
