So was the place mostly full of Horizons? What was the most common size being built from your observation?

Jeff,
Sorry but I have to call BS.... Well not BS but maybe you just couldn't tell. My 248 is an 06 and it's most certainly WOOD. Yes it's fully fiberglass and gelcoat encapsulated but sure enough it's wood under there. And the entire sub floor in the cabin is all wood.
I'm sure the runabouts are a different story, they are MUCH simpler to build. Stingray has been using foam cored, fiberglass stringers for years but they are "simple" in comparison to the floor plan in a FW Cruiser.
Well suffice it to say, the way the stringer system is done today on the boats I saw was a totally separate insert, unlike the stringer system in my boat where it is obvious the stringers are laminated to the inside of the hull individually. Now I didn't see any wood in the stringer insert, as it was fully moulded and gelled, but i guess it is possible, and my memory has faded enough
The only wood I seen was the rear bulkhead between the engine and the aft berth on the cruisers.
