Hi everyone,
I am considering a 1986 DeFever 53' POC for purchase. The broker is telling me the hull is "cored" with foam. I wanted to see if anyone has has any experience with this type of construction? I prefer a solid fiberglass hull. Since there is no wood in the coring, I'm assuming there won't be many problems with this type of design? Obviously, a marine surveyor will be used to I.D. any issues, but before I spend the money on that, I thought I'd check with you all.
Thank you for any experience or issues with this,
Still boatless,
