Indeed. Teague tested a 42 and he said it was like driving a block of concrete. :eek:

Does OL build any new boats out of VE? I know they build both glass and carbon, but do they switch resins as well?

Speaking of Epoxy boats... They all seem to be painted and scratch easily, why? Compared to a VE or Poly boat they have gelcoat... Do they make a Epoxy gelcoat if someone doesn't want to paint the boat? I've seen quite a few Epoxy boats 2-3 years old and they're going for paint touch-ups, fade spots and/or clearcoat fixes.

that would be a question for Fred.. I un-like most, prefer a softer ride and am not interested in getting the last mph out of my boat. In return I'm well aware that the ride I got from Mike and Fred was as good as it get's at 80+mph in 4-5's could not be achieved in a glass boat. It helped that Mike was driving also...OMGSMP. LOL

The new generation SL 36 and SL 44 and SL 52 are built out of e-glass with an all Carbon Monocoque Grid. That boat is extremely strong, but rides very soft.

No, the only VE we use is for Mold Construction.
