Structural question?

I'm just starting my hunt for a deck boat and wondered if anybody tell me if the stringers and floor on Hurricane deck boats are wood or fibreglass? Also, how much of the below deck space is usable for storage?

Floor appears to be fiberglass. Storage depends upon model choice but most is under seats and in consoles and ski locker.

My model year 2000, model 226R has foam core sandwiched between layers of glass mat.
It is a substantial and rigid structure at least 3/4 total thickness. I know this because I had to cut four holes for access hatches to reach the failed deck drain hoses and through-hulls. Very serviceable now.
At some point I will have to do another to replace fuel hoses at the tank fittings. The bilge pump is another sore spot for me as access hatches are located badly.
Hope this helps
