Just look at the number of well built balsa cored boats that are still around - If the advantages and disadvantages are acknowledged and a boat built, in the understanding of the measures and techniques that must be used to build a durable boat then no problems - Look at that thread "...do a lap" http://www.boatdesign.net/forum/showthread.php?t=21058 and http://www.woodenboat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73818 as well as http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmm_beer/tags/tincan/ in a home made alloy cat, have a laugh then critique "all alloy builds on that example" as only another fool would... The essence is to know your material and work appropriately....
