Yesterday I picked up what I believe is a 1998 model year explorer built in December of 1997. HIN# MADEX395L798. It appears to be fiberglass however I typically have seen fiberglass MRCs with wood gunwales and these are aluminum. I also haven’t seen a boat with the gel coat color on the inside. Was this standard for this model year for fiberglass boats? As I am new and can only post one picture I am including one of the weave for greater clarity. I can include more pictures of the actual boat with later posts.
Any information would purely be for informational purposes obviously as I already bought the boat. I grew up in Maine canoeing with my family in our Blue Hole and Tripper. This will be my first venture into a MRC. For $240 I figured I couldn’t go wrong.
