![]() There is no "perfect" when it comes to boats. Other schemes could be used to reduce stress cracks but, again, compromise other things. Just one area that could be compromised to "solve" the stress crack equation. ![]() More robust lamination means more weight means less speed. Yes, it can be done, but there are compromises in everything. ![]() The bottom line is it's tougher to build a stress crack free boat today than it was before. Today's gelcoats are much less elastic than gelcoats of yesteryear due to stringent environmental compliance issues. There are multiple reasons for stress cracks, inferior building is just one of them. Regardless of your two claims, stress cracks are a different animal than catastrophic impact. As far as the Formula going over the seawall with zero damage, I guess under certain circumstances that could happen but I wouldn't count on it. There is no way fiberglass in an ordinary boat laminate will withstand the impact of a high power round without any damage. So Seabirds are bulletproof and Formulas are seawallproof? The advertisement is bunk.
