[quote=erice]from the makers view polyethylene is great for another reason
after 10-20 years, in the sun?, it hardens and cracks and that's the end of that
by then too the soft plastic is showing so many scratches and gouges it looks a complete mess and there's nothing that can be done to make it look like new
frp meanwhile gets oxidized gelcoat and if in water, osmosis bubbles under the gelcoat
and ..........................
that's about it! and with a little polishing and some gelcoat it can be made to look like new again for a few hours work
my nacra is 29years old next year and will still whip the ass of pretty much any plastic cat out there
so plastic is great for it's cheapness and toughness
but i'm happy my boat is frp[/quote]
