Why do you still use wood? why no coreing? Just courious, looks nice, clean.

The 26 is the only non cored boat we've built. You don't need a flighty , light weight 26 to run in the ocean. We built that boat for Tyler Crockett and we knew he would put some good power in it. We could build a light weight 26 if somebody wanted a lake boat.

Oh on the wood. A good friend of mine aka Will Smith at Phantom taught me to always use 2 3/4 inch marine grade plywood sheets for transom and multi layers of glass. Do it right and nothing is better. We use fiberglass stringers though.

OK what about the wood? If a customer wanted coosa board instead would that be a viable option?

I've used coosa composites and it's good stuff. I've used it for stringers and transoms. Yes I would use it if a customer wanted it.

The new 26 Joker with the Gladiator style dash is being built now. Pictures to follow.

Now you're talking...bring it! Are you putting the dash on the boat you have built already? Can't wait to see it!

By the way...don't stop what you guys are doing. Great looking product. Esp. the old school, new built 26.

The boat is for a member on here. He'll chime in shortly. It's gonna be a cool boat.
