Checking their website, you can get the pricing and some construction
details. I didn't read too carefully, but I think that it is the 52 that has
Nida-core in the decks and superstructure. Their hulls are solid fiberglass.
Hatteras uses a tough coring material in the hulls of their battlewagons.
Below the waterline, Hatteras is solid. They showed me that the core added
rigidity and strength to their hulls.
So, coring per se is not a negative. It's the choice of coring, the
placement, and the installation that count.

| However if you look at the specs. it weighs in at 31,000 lbs. The super

her.
| The MT weighs in at 56,000 lbs with a lead keel (48,000 without lead
keel).
| I think that the weight says a lot if you have plans for offshore
cruising.
