hull question please help
Can someone with experience please answer this question.
What is the difference in the hull construction between Baja, Fountain, Formula and Cig. All I can find is that Formular uses fiberglass and a foam type stringer system and plexus bonds hull to deck. Fountain uses fiberglass, stringers , foam and fiberglasses hull to deck Cig use fiberglass , wood stringers , bolsa core and fiberglasses hull to deck Baja uses fiberglass , wood stringers, bolsa core and plexus bonds hull to deck What is the thickness between brands in hull thickness and is there certain areas of the hull that get more attention between brands Not trying to start a war just looking for honost answers from people who know |
You should post this in the General Discussion forum and watch it spin off in 50 different directions.
|
Sounds like someone is trolling here, I'd say post in general section, the last time a general question by you was asked like this it became a bunch of misunderstood, unneeded dick measuring in the why hate on Baja thread.
Just my .02 cents, put it in the general section, not here. |
Just looking for honest answers from knowledgable people regardless off brand,

I do know from the things I have seen that Baja and Cig use 2x12 stringers, the Formulas I seen have laminated plywood stringers, I was told the 2x is stronger when it eventually gets wet and can split, but dry is very strong, the plywood are very strong until wet, then become mush...
by experience with own eyes... some brands seal drilled holes better then others... then there are Friday boats.... |
When i watched the build process on the formular website there was no plywood anymore only a foam and fiberglass grid system plexus bonded to hull skin, they seem to be the only one doing this. No one mentions thicknesses or how many stringers used.

thats right the newer fas-techs have a liner, seems to hold up well in my buddys 353 has no issues
|
Outerlimits use a "Post Epoxy cured" layup, which is supposed to lighter and stronger than traditional layups, I have NO idea what the Heck it means, but, I have spoke with people who have been to the factory and they say the first thing they notice is there is NO SMELL of fiberglass like you normally smell as soon as you walk into most boat factories.
