Both pretty much the same. What ever was the good Glass & Resin for that era is what their made from, Just like the Cigs,Panteras,Apaches,Tempest ect. For what ever year the boat is you can bet that all the Mfgrs where buying the same stuff.

Well said, Joker! And to the original poster, the Corsa and the Martini were the same boat, both built by Bob Bower out of Miami, so to answer your question, they would've been built to the same specs.
My 26' is built like a brick ****house, it'll go through anything, and come out with smile.

Yes and no...
The very first Martini was hand made by the founder of Martini, Corsa and Stuart Angler (a sport fishing line of boats). This first boat was literally created from scratch in his brother's backyard!
For the next few years, they [Bob and John Bower] built up Martini, with both 7 & 9 meter boats. As the company grew and a few changes were made, Martini phased out and Corsa took it's place ... sort of like when Datsun became Nissan.
Stuart Angler, by the way, is essentially a Corsa hull, rigged with a deep-sea fishing boat topside. However, they all originated from the Martini molds.
PS: I'm the daughter and niece of the two founders.

Thank you for the welcome. I'm glad I could be here.
You could say, morbid curiosity and nostalgia brought me here initially. Still, I'm glad I can be here for some of the people who still have questions.
