hi, new to these forums but it seems this would be the place to ask questions. im wondering if there was a specific year that bayliner switched the ribs and "frame" of their boats from wood to fiberglass? to my understanding it was early 90s but i could be mistaken. reason i am asking is a presently have a 17' openbow capri with wooden ribs and im considering moving up to a 19' butwould prefer to find smething w fiberglass ribs just to save myself from any concerns of future floor rot spreading or affecting ribs. thanks for your help everyone.

I heard late 90's not early but no specific year.
Might be guesses.
