I'm thinking basic kit and I'll buy enough glass to do the
: inside hull and outside deck in onepiece. I also wonder if a fillet on the
: inside deck seams plus full glass would be as strong, and not much
: heavier- I found working with tape difficult.

Rod, if you want you can glass the underside of the deck with 4oz then lay some 1" strips of 4oz on the inside of the chines, fillets for such shallow angles aren't necessary with glass on both sides and the outside edges not rounded off that much. I'd still lay a strip of tape or two strips of 4oz down the center deck seam just because paddle shafts and boats apply point stress there during rough use. I suppose the extra care results in theoretical improvments..but what the heck I confess,,,,I did it and if feels good.
