Airex started at some point during the 2002 "build year". Prior to that it was balsa.

Well Kevin's post negates that article that after 2000 they were all Airex below the WL. Maybe they ran out of Airex that day..

Could have been Rob. Who knows! I just checked my old Hull ID of my model year '02 .. bottom was laid in in June of '01.

I do recall a post by JackK that his 28 built in '04 was Airex.
