SRD, that's all well and fine. I merely passed along info, based on what I knew from documentation available. I can appreciate your experience with Island Boat Works and your knowledge of their boats.Struts and Rudders wrote:Jamie,
I measured for, sold and produced the running gear for this boat.
It was a cold molded wooden boat built on a jig on Hatteras Island NC by Joe Smith and his boys. They were my clients for years....I am quite sure that I am correct, though I can read and see the info you supplied.
The core material for this boat is wood, all surfaces except for teak trim were covered in and sandwiched between fiberglass and west epoxy resin.

Actually made the running gear for the Viking that burned and sunk as well....
Technically, you may be correct but your opening statement and quote, "All wrong..." in your reply to my post, can't be interpreted...or accepted as factual, without anyone knowing the knowledge that you may, or may not have.
Sometimes, it's not what we say...but how we say it.

It's all good. Thanks.

A cold molded boat is basically a wood boat that is built with the wood enclosed in fiberglass . I have seen them documented as glass and as wood . after all it uses both. Not sure where you would draw the line .
as far as burning I would think it would burn more like wood .
