When did they quit putting wood in the boats?

[Schuler]

I've been looking at used Javelin and Stratos boats for awhile and am wondering what year they quit putting wood in the transoms and stringers of these boats?

[Darth VMAX]

I think it was 1997 or 1998. But I am not 100% sure.

The SS Extreme's were all composite. They came out in '99. It is possible they began doing it with other hulls before that, but those in '99 had no wood.

[MaverickPro201]

2000 all Stratos boats composites, If I remember correctly, the ss extreme was all composite in 99 but a slow hull

I think Javelin was 97 but dont quote me on that... Pretty sure mine is composite...

I have been told the first all composite boat was the 98 201. everything other than the 201 in 98 had wood in it.

hope this helps

i have a 98 javelin 389 no wood. i think 98 was the frist year for no wood in a javelin. by the way mine is for sale it can be seen on the boats for sale page. its the blue 389

I have a 1999 Javelin Renegade 20 and it has wood on the floor decking (I know that for a fact, needed to fix some "soft areas" and have pictures to prove it)…not sure about the transom though...

My 93 Javelin looks like it has no wood when I replaced the carpet.

Mine is composite.
