The use of balsa core in decking has been close to universal for all glass boats except the earliest designs...occasional wetness due to failing caulk is a common issue...now a cored hull, that is a problem waiting to happen...a firned of mine recently had to replace all the Airex core in his 42' hull, built by one of the best names in the business...
