Yes, FG hull. Plywood decks from stem to stern. Vinyl-covered plywood superstructure. Personally, I think this original Tri-Cabin is the prettiest design, but big big project to replace any bad wood. And they all have bad wood someday!

tried to look the boat up on the website, but, either the server is down or traffic on the web has clogged things up.
as for the 'hybrid' question. no. not a hybrid. the original 36' sea raider tri cabin was built between late 1968 (for the 1969 model year) until they converted to the 'new' **all fiberglass f-36 tri cabin which made it's debut in december 1971 for the 1972 model year.

**disclaimer---- all fiberglass except for the aft deck area, aft deck bulkhead, and bridge deck.****
