IronHead,
I spent quite afew years as a fiberglass laminator and spent a year in school learning about fiberglass.Anyone that tells you that glass boats are all the same or even close to the same doesnt know alot about glass work.The Stripers are a nice boat and fall into the same class as the Trophys.Which is a step down from the Arimas,Gradys and whalers.And yes the Arimas glass work is some of the finist in the industrie there boats are more custom made than the others though.You would have a very tough time finding a better quality built boat than an Arima.
