Vacuum Infused Lay-up using Vinyl Ester Resins is the modern preferred method of building fiberglass hulls, used by most boat builders today and results in a stronger hull with no entrapped air, but it is not the same as what Boston Whaler does using two molds and infusing foam between them. Did you find another way to create the same thing? How are your hulls "unsinkable"? I find it unusual that you would build a new ground up hull and still include the undesirable features in your 13 footer such as the original non smirked hull and a notched transom suitable to only 15" outboards.
I sure would like to see some pictures of your hulls being laid up. You show plenty if images of your restoration work and it is impeccable.
