I did look at their website, but didn't show much in terms of construction. It does mention use of no wood in the construction.
In my opinion the inside is the stuff Pat does best. The boats are built better on the inside than they look on the outside. So if you like what you see in the finished product, you would be one happy owner.

I would never question the integrity of one of Pats boats. And those of you that know me, know that I do not say such things very often.

We have a 1999 25 Tantrum. Picked it up at the factory June of 1999, 230 hours of running with the big boys on the Chesapeake bay and the boat looks as GREAT as it did when we took delivery!! Enough said....my .02

Thanks Todd W, that's the type of stuff I'm looking to see. IE: Interesting the number of stringers in the engine compartment. You don't see that in a number of the "name" brands.

Try using some punctuation. Your post is hard to read.
