Interesting that Morris won this bid. I was at TPI about 2 years ago when they were working on the series for the Navy. One of the requirements was that they were all done with clear gel coat, or what looked like no gel coat, so that the laminate could be seen everywhere and the infusion process visually checked. They were awl gripped only after each hull was approved. The TPI boats were extremely spartan inside... pipe berths and virtually no wood trim as I recall. They were also very heavy on big lewmar wiches. A rugged looking boat.
