Awesome pics as usual..

I really like the cutaway pictures.

I had an 05' 32 Regulator and that thing was a tank..

I kind of miss it.

Those new consoles look AWFUL compared to the one on my '05. Granted they didn't show a 26 but I have seen plenty of 24's and 32's.

Love the cut outs. Man, how thick is the bottom on that first pic? By far my favorite boats. And at 13k I might finally be able to afford one!

First picture... is this an example of a solid glass hull as compared to a cored hull? Please excuse the ignorance...

Yes, the hull is solid glass below the waterline. The stringer is foam filled, and you can see the deck is cored above the stringer. The short vertical lines in the deck core are "kerfs" or slots for the core to sit flat. If you look closely, you can see the deck is bonded to the top of the stringer with around 3/8" or so of adhesive, probably Plexus, which makes 5200 look like Elmers glue. No breaking it loose-ever.

This allows a flat deck sit on top of a not so flat series of stringers.

A nice looking build.

Now I can understand what I'm looking at, thanks for the explanation.
