That's the 'good news - bad news' for most FRP boats built in the 70's and early 80's. Fiberglass was cheap and relatively unknown how far it could be pushed. Most of our older hulls are built much stronger (and heavier) than needed. Not a huge deal on a trawler operated at displacement speeds though.
