    The resin is polyester, the core is balsa. Vinylester or epoxy would be stronger. It's debatable weather balsa or composites are better.

    They were engineered for balsa core, and would have been built differently with any composites. It is unusual to see a manufacturer switch materials, whether resin, cloth, or core, that the lay up is not impacted. Sticking with factory engineering but with careful quality control will net you a boat that is solid.
