Lookin at a 1983 hull. What was the lay up back then. Anybody know? Looks to be in good shape. Any issues with blisters?

for those of us that dont know what that means, how is that compared to todays standards? lighter/heavier, thicker/thinner? are most solid glass downeasts still built the same as there were in early 80s?

83, probably 3/4" thick or so

Resin was cheap, pound it in there

Heavy layup

Old hulls

In other words, you won't find one like that again. Older boats were built like tanks. Own a 1982 BHM , and just drilled a 3/4 " hole through bottom of the hull, and it was 7/8" thick. Solid glass !

When did they start putting core in these boats? Mid 80s?
