Hull Composition

I can't seem to find any info on the hull construction of rinker 360s from the waterline up.  Are the hulls solid fibreglass or solid fibreglass below the waterline and cored from the waterline up?  Thank you.

As far as I know, wood core hull below the water line, with fibreglass layers, and gelcoat.  Fairly strong hull relative to other brands. I don't think it would be cost effective to have a solid fibreglass hull.

I drilled a hole in mine for manserator and it was a good 3/8 thick, almost 1/2 inch  I was impressed. solid fiberglass. about 12 inches above water line.

Thanks guys, that makes sense, glad to hear the hull bottom is solid.

Hello
I am also interested in knowing the below water line hull construction of my 2010 280, if anyone can pass this info on, I would be grateful.
Thanks Bazza

can anyone tell me what the round grate looking thing in the bottom of a 2001 242 hull would be?.  Kinda looks like a shower grate.

@JFDee - It's a thru hull water intake for something.

That would be a through hull for outtake

@JFDee intake for the head flush, my 2003 310 one for the head looks as you describe. The AC is very different.

hopefully not thru that hole!

I agree that it's the intake for the head water.
