    Sunsation builds some nice boats. Do you guys use balsa in the sun hulls?
    I talked to your sales department a while ago about a tour of the facility. Going to try to make if up there this winter. I'm in Goodrich (near Grand Blanc) so I'm a couple of hours away.
    What part of production do you work in?

    We build fully cored hull and decks and use alot of balsa in our secondary parts as well. We like the properties balsa offers and have had no problems using balsa after 25 years in our boats.

    I run the lamination shop for Wayne and Joe at Sunsation.
    We'd be glad to give you a tour and show you our facility.
