| Typical issues | Q: Is the HR 36 name in the ad headline enough? A: No. Look at how the stern is built in the photos and whether a hull number is listed; do not trust a length figure alone. Length in the headline is marketing shorthand, not a series proof. Q: Does osmosis risk remain? A: Osmosis is moisture that lifts blisters under the outer plastic skin. | Q: How should I read the production years if the listing says 2010 onwards? A: Check the builder’s plate on this specific boat. The model window is 2003–2013 with approximately 80 hulls. Open-ended dates from 2010 are catalogue ghost entries, not this series. |
