2004 31 Formula PC and dreaming of another 28 Pantera
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.
