construction method

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

Since these are performance boats, you might also ask over on www.offshoreonly.com

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.
