Deck core on older boats

Its not worth it mate, some people will always stay stuck in the past, despite it being around 50 years since production boats came with solid decks, apparently builders have got it all wrong all these years. Some people to this day still think that carbureted cars are better than fuel injected ones, its just the way of the world.

And maybe I'd feel the same way if I was only interested in free hand me down boats.

At the end of the day, naval architects and builders are going to pay more attention to what people paying for new boats want rather than problems resulting from owner neglect 50+ years down the line.

Ah! THERE it is...

There are hints up above, but now we've arrived at an explicit statement of cored-deck (owners) superior socio-economic status, I can at last STFU.

Excellent, cos thats some of the most longwinded verbally obtuse ways of saying you don’t like deck cored boats I have ever read. I get your pissed that your knackered old project has a buggered deck core, but if thats the biggest and most expensive thing you have to fix then its probably a bargain. Probably about a grands worth of epoxy, glass mat and balsa/foam/ply, whichever you prefer. And though you’ll hate the thought of it, balsa is pretty good for curves on coachroofs etc. Do it right you’ll be dead before it ever rots again, so not worth worrying about.
