I know this might be a silly question, but I couldn't find a straight answer anywhere else.
Have the major brand name boat builders shifted from Polyester Resin to Epoxy Resin for assembly line GRP construction? Vinyl Ester Resin maybe?
(Not talking about custom boats, just the big name assembly line stock sailboats and 'semi-customs')
When I am looking at newer model year used boats for sale I am wondering if there is a certain time frame when there was a shift in manufacturing to better resins. Some day in the future I would hope that the next used boat I buy will be made with Epoxy resin so I don't have osmotic blister worries.
