epoxy hull?
 
As the title states I just found out my boat is an epoxy boat, what if anything does this mean in terms of care and maintenance, if any? Sorry this is probably a stupid question to most in the industry. :cartman:

How did you determine this????? I highly doubt a 1995 Fountain is an epoxy boat.

Rf 3 posted my pictures on his Facebook page , I asked for any info he said it was epoxy, started life with a Blackhawk drive .

Does it have gel-coat on it ? If it does I highly doubt it is a Epoxy resin layed up boat.

I have to agree with griff, I would be very surprised if it is epoxy. was your boat a custom build for someone?

if it is epoxy, the biggest consideration is if you need to repair anything. It must be done with epoxy only and prep is critical. At that time builders were still experimenting with gel and epoxy so its possible. the super v that Wahoo had was an epoxy boat with gelcoat (that came off in sheets :picard1:

Boat images were put on Facebook by R3. He said it was an experimental epoxy boat with a blackhawk drive at the start of it's life. Bravo boat now I do believe if I followed the discussion on the image.

Dave have you ever seen a epoxy hull with gelcoat?
