can someone explain liner construction
 

How is the liner construction different from the stringer construction? Rudamentary question I realize, but I've never seen the liner design. Looking at a 30 OL in a couple weeks. Would separation be readily apparent to a surveyors eye? I don't know whether I love or hate boat shopping.......

Both hulls start out the same.

A stringer system is glassed into the bottom of the stringer boat for engine mounting and structural reinforcement and a base for the cockpit floor to mount to.





The liner boat hull is just the hull, the cockpit and cabin and engine compartment are a single moled piece that is inserted and bonded to the inside of the hull.


Most of the cracking I"ve heard about is in the cabin area.

what year is it ?

So do the engines mount via backing plates on the liner setup.

As a 30 Outlaw owner, any cracks are largely superficial. Like the cracking of an eggshell on a hard boiled egg. The liner boats have flex points (like all boats do), you then just see some spider cracks in the top layer of gel. The 30 is a great boat......

One of the most thrilling boat rides I ever went on was on a 30 at the 8 mile marker of LOTO. It was the twice as naughty boat. the acceleration was unreal with the mag HO's. It was rough out so being out in a boat of smaller size was quite the thrill with that much HP at hand. the one I am looking at is an 05.... I think.

ROWYCO atleast you survived.

Had not seen that acronym in a long time

That was the phase of choice.....8,9,10 years ago....memory is kind of blurry:ernaehrung004:

Engines attach to the engine compartment liner.....not shure if there is anything inside, plate wise, that they attach to.
