The first boat I recall having a non cored hull was a Bounty ll sailboat (early 60's vintage) They built these things like tanks. They thought Glass had to be as thick as a traditional wooden plank hull. So to find a trawler built the same way takes time.

Unfortunately the Carver comments exemplify the other end of the spectrum.
Yes Cappy, all agreed.....thanx
