COOL CHANGE31' Eastern Casco Bay 31 Hardtop 2004

Construction

   "The boats start with 3 ounces of mat wet out in vinylester resin (not just sprayed on) over the gelcoat to help prevent osmotic blistering and improve the cosmetic finish by reducing print-through. All of the hulls are supported by female-molded fiberglass grids, which produce a consistent hull support structure and foundation for the deck and fuel tanks while providing a tooled bilge back aft. The grids are also designed to double as rigging tubes, which allow wires and hoses to be routed, say, from the center console back to the engine at the transom. Once they are bonded in place, the grids are filled with foam to add flotation, stiffen the grid structure and quiet the ride." ~ Soundings

• Full GRP (glass reinforced plastic) molded keel
