1990 Carver 3608 solid or cored hull?

I like the 1990 Carver 3608 but I can’t seem to find if they are solid fiberglass below the waterline or cored.

Can anyone help my friend out here? He's looking at a 1990 3608 that seems to be in really good condition. Looking at the Carver manuals, I do believe at least the stringers are encapsulated wood, but its pretty vague regarding the hull etc.

It seems to me, in my foggy old memory that Kenny ( they used to have a Carver dealership I think ) explained what all the hulls were in relation to the numbers.Like an 8 ending would be one build and a 7 would be another.

Sorry , try a search of his posts......
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

I don't remember on the '8 but the '7 is solid glass hull and no stringer core. Now having said that, I also thought that there was a vintage where all models had no wood or core which is the case on my '89 so.....however it is a 3807 anyway.
