Guardian Hulls

 Hey guys I have found an 18.5 foot guardian that might be worth a rebuild, just chasing some info on the guardian hulls if anyone has any? They look a lot like the v19 shape from haines but not too sure on beam ect. 

 

Cheers

They are a comfortable riding boat, the one I owned had a Volvo sterndrive so cannot comment on an outboard version's ride with the less weight

 Thin hull without much support. I cracked the hull a couple of times and ended up selling it.

Ive got a 5.7m, Ive put 1 crack in the top cabin from walking to anchor rope...touch wood the hull has been solid as phuk...ive hammered mine in some shitty condition fully loaded and it does a good job, agree above if rebuilding add some more weight in new internal timber.
