Larry, My boat is a 1986, one of the last built by Jerry (I think). I don't know anything about other hulls, although plastic hulls can last a long, long time. It might be telling to note that I haven't read anything on this list about hull problems on any of the Mboats, old or new, like blisters or delaminations or hull-deck joint problems, which are major topics on some other boat lists.
