    Hi, I have scoured the web and requested info from Fountain Powerboats but not found much in the way of their construction method. I am to compare the construction method of 2 similar boats, show the construction method then propose a method for a one off design. The 2 boats i've chosen are a fountain lightning 42 and cigarette marauder 50.

    So far i'm not getting much luck, any ideas or insider knowledge/pictures that can get me going?

    I am studying Yacht Production and Surveying at Southampton Solent University in England.

    many thanks
    Steve

    As layup schedules and construction methods are guarded company proprietary information, I woundn't expect you'd get many details here, or for that matter, anywhere else in the public domain.
