Hi blazeboss:
It has been my experience over the years that the conservative group of people who buy trawlers/expedition vessels/long-range yachts are especially cognizant of hull design and hull materials and have a tendency to choose steel or solid fiberglass over a cored hull.
Their argument for this stems from their fear of-- and this is just one example of many that I've heard--whacking a semisubmerged shipping container while far from land and ending up with a Problem.
I make no claims as to whether or not a modern cored hull is less strong or resistant to sudden impacts. I can say with some authority, however, that changing people's preconceived notions, in the yacht business anyway, can be a tad difficult.
