Construction balsa divinycel?
I have been trought extensive search regarding how the 1998-2005 Sonics were built.
i see diffrent informations from different sources. Some state that the bottoms are balsa cored others claim solid glass others foam core. Wood stringers vs foam stringers. Divinycell yadayada... also found something stating that they went from composite back to balsa in 2003 or so? Verry strange material swap since more people are chasing wood free boats!
Does anybody know the real story and the materials that were used over the years?
i assume all models shared the same construction methods for same year??
all I can find is mixed up informations over the web🤔
