It will last for as long as you will ever need!! The big problem with most boats Wellcraft included is the scrap wood they used in squares to make the covers. The 1 Solid will last a long time!

Looks really good. The only thing that you could have done differently was to put a 45 cut along the edge of the plywood. This makes the transition from the wood to the decking easier when working the fiberglass.

I didn't put a 45 on it, but I did bevel it down quite a bit. It just doesn't look it because of how thick i made the glass in that area since the wood doesn't go all the way out.

They did that so we would have to buy another boat 10 - 20 years later. They didn't think we'd be smart enough to fix it!

Wood Squares create a fiberglass grid between the blocks that improves adhesion of the skins and slows water intrusion as well as maximizes your core material. Overall Squares provide a stiffer laminate without sacrificing any strength . . . that's why you see them on every hatch made.

Willy, Franco and I toured the Pursuit plant last year w/Franco's brother who DOES know what he's talkin' about, he said Pursuit uses the squares to conform to a curve in the design...which the top of the cuddy is; curved and made of squares...also the transom is curved...the gas-tank hatch lid isn't curved, but hey...they were on a roll by then...
I'd post some pics of it, but Franco's brother is well connected and "asked" us not to post any of our pics to the web
