The joint can be inspected from the outside if the molding is removed. It can't be inspected from the inside. I know the inside extrusion has to be full of water...I know it...it has to.
When I haul out this winter, I am going to drill a few holes to see how much water there is.
Inside liners restrict a builder from Fiberglassing deck to hull. I don’t like inside liners. I think they look cheap, hide bad workmanship, and compromise the integrity of the vessel. Getting to stuff behind the liner is a bitch.
As to the use of plywood in the core...that is just plain stupid.
Did you ask the question because you know something bad the rest of us don’t?
