What did Formula core the hull with, in an '87 242?

Thanks

I don't think those hulls are cored at all. There's foam in most cavities but it's not really "cored". Solid glass baby!!

That's what I thought, but a solid glass hull core is very rare in a power boat! Either way thats great! I never need to worry about core saturation.....

'87 242 is not a cored hull. Formula did use foam, but not cored. One heavy hull, built like a tank.
