Default 31SS construction

Can you guys tell me what makes the 31 so strong? How is it constructed and with what. Is the hull as strong as a 28 Pantera?

I think it is as strong as a Pantera. 3 piece (hull, deck, cabin liner) construction, bolted and glassed together. Makes 1 solid piece. VERY few boats, including high end boats, are glassed together at the seams. Bi-directional glass, vinylester resins, divynicell (sp?) coring. All hull voids filled with structural foam. Not a long enough deck to flex but big enough to crush most any water you want to run in. I had my 31 out in 10's, once. Boat is a rock in rough water. And a LOT of fun to drive in the rough stuff! There are some great deals to be had on used ones these days.
