    Starcraft 16' Bahama Fiberglass vs. Starcraft 16' Starmist Aluminum

    The seller is quite smart, a mechanic and did his homework. Pretty sure he did it right. However as a Starcraft newbie I appreciate all of your input. Thanks!

    Starcraft 16' Bahama Fiberglass vs. Starcraft 16' Starmist Aluminum

    I will find out. Won't spraying foam directly on the inside hull block the limber holes? How can thin rigid plastic harm aluminum? It is not visqueen but flat rigid plastic panels
