Top choice vessels less than 36'? Take a look at the Atlantic and Prairie line of boats; these were designed by Jack Hargrave of Hatteras fame. They are solid built with no core. On or about 1979, Prairie Boat Works sold their hull forms to Atlantic Yacht Corporation so the boats were made from the same molds. You can usually find them for sale on Yacht World; see link below. Link to a Prairie 36 for sale; there are four others for sale on Yacht World; no Atlantics currently listed for sale: http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/boatDetails.jsp?currency=USD& units=Feet&currencyid=100&boat_id=973555&checked_boats=973555& back=%2Fcore%2Flisting%2Fcache%2FsearchResults.jsp%3Ftype%3D%2528Power%2529%26sm%3D3%26cit%3Dtrue%26curr encyid%3D100%26luom%3D126%26man%3DPrairie%2B%26slim%3Dquick%26is%3Dfalse& searchtype= I have an Atlantic 30; the Prairie boat made from the same mold was the Prairie 29.
