Pretty confident it's cored.

My 2001 28TE has a cored hull.
100% certain.

But what kind? Airex and Bolsa? When did Albin go away from Bolsa? 2000/2001?

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

Drill a hole ...

My previous '02 was laid up in '01 and was balsa .. found out when I drilled a hole for a transducer.

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.
