My 1983 IG has a solid glass hull. a solid glass cabin and flybridge-no plywood.
Teak trim (some varnished, some bare) teak transom overlay. And a teak deck.
The hull has simulated plank lines it was painted (PO did it)* It is no longer bright and shiney, but not yet chalky.

*John:
Interesting that your boat is solid cabin and flybridge. I had occasion to drill a hole in the side of the cabin (just aft of the helm door) on ours last year and it was a thin layer of ply sandwiched heavily by glass. Same with the flybridge sole/cabin overhead. The sides of the flybridge appear to be solid. The hull definitely is solid. Different builder on its own using a different layup schedule or change in Halvorsen's specs for the builder? Wonder how how much latitude a builder is given in how they do the layup?
