My boat - was a TEST boat - they would move the running strakes to find the best lift - etc. - they were bolted and glassed to the hull - but would break easily - I bought the hull after the tests - had a teak deck put on it - partial teak in front - and full teak from the cockpit to the stern - When I got the boat - it had a 1/8 inch plywood deck, which you could not walk on. Here are some photos - one of it racing with Copper Kettle, and Blonde, and photos when I changed it.
