How is the 30 outlaw constructed? I heard they have a grid system that takes the place of stringers. What is the grid system made out of? Is the only wood in the boat in the transom and coring? What is the floor made of and how is it bonded to the boat? Is the floor the same piece that flows into the engine compartment? Any light shed on this would be great. Thinking of buying a used one and was wondering where I need to look. Hoping the grid system can't rot or the floor. How do the motors bolt to the grid system? Any pics would be great also.

I'll take a stab based on what I learned while there... XT would be a better source and might make some corrections to my response. There should be some photos within the intra-web as many other builders use liner type systems in boats.
How is the 30 outlaw constructed? I heard they have a grid system that takes the place of stringers. - This is true it was a Third major mold in the build process vs. just hull and deck molds.
What is the grid system made out of? - Fiberglass/Carbon layup just like a hull or deck
Is the only wood in the boat in the transom and coring? - I think but don't quote me... others will know better.
What is the floor made of and how is it bonded to the boat? - What do you mean floor? The cuddy floor and engine compartment was part of the liner system. Cockpit was typically part of the deck mold as a 'tub deck' design
Is the floor the same piece that flows into the engine compartment? - Cuddy floor - Yes. Cockpit - No.
Any light shed on this would be great. Thinking of buying a used one and was wondering where I need to look. Hoping the grid system can't rot or the floor. How do the motors bolt to the grid system? - I think through bolt through the liners.
Any pics would be great also.
