Sea Ray is a company that has played around a lot with hamburger helper for fiberglass. Over the years it seems they've done everything they could think of to reduce the amount of costly glass and resin they use in their hulls, including the pioneering the "putty boat," hulls that incorporate spray-in polyester filler (stuff that looks exactly like Bond-O autobody filler). Sea Ray has used cores in their boats for many years, first for decks, then for hull sides, and finally for bottoms. Sea Ray, like most other builders, has had a lot of trouble with rotting cores. They've also had a lot of trouble with their chopped strand mat laminated over plywood hull stringers and other structurals rotting. So you have to wonder, if they can't build plywood cored stringers and balsa cored decks that won't rot away (and which aren't submerged in water), what on earth makes them think that they can build boat bottoms the same way? And with balsa, no less?
@@2020Dreamlife Good question I would call the manufacture and ask about there construction method and materials also call boat repair shops that do hull work even call some insurance adjusters . for what it worth look up Lagoon 450 design problems good luck
