Hi Dan, interesting, I didn't know that many manufacturers use that layup. I guess it makes sense in terms of repairability and sanding…
Speaking of UV-resistance, you're right, it breaks down pretty quickly but as long as you're using a UV-resistant Epoxy (if used on the hull additives like graphite powder help, too) it's not so much of a problem.
