The worse thing you can say about fiberglass hulls is that they don't eventually sink when they become derelict space-holders in slips. Slips are always in demand and never obsolete. If someone could invent and cultivate fiberglass termites, a huge underground market would materialize and seek him out.Doc Häagen-Dazshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577427442824705257noreply@blogger.com
