They are wood free when they quit building !!!!!

Active Thunder is wood free after around 1999 other than some interior stuff.

Wow that's really cool. I'd have never guessed.

My boat is wood free, I believe all of them since '96 were. Jefferson marlago, also not a real offshore.

Velocity

I think velocity still uses wood in their performance boat layup; however, you do have the option for a composite layup (like the bay boats and center console) for an extra cost.

How about Balsa wood, that was big for a while. What a mistake, talk about absorbent.

I dont think the composite materials are as strong as wood, all the big time boats are still wood for a reason.... nothing wrong with wood if it was done right, my Mistress is dry and b=never been redone, but everything was sealed properly in it...

I do not like the ride quality and jarring in Composite boats I been on, they flex too much... no thx gimme wood....

Yes, many folks don't realize just how strong plywood is. Then laminate it, and it's even stronger yet. Hopefully Glassdave will chime in on this.

I understand that there is a preference for custom carolina wood sport fishers over fiberglass boats. I'm assuming it's because the wood boats are more flexible and ride nicer.
