Question for other builders. Does it make sense to build a ski with internal molds left in place?

Lightweight molds @ 8" with strips glued to them.

Seal coat of epoxy on the inside.

Vent holes at all times with larger ones to open when not in use or traveling.

It would save the trouble of joining the deck to the hull with the inside taped seam.

35#'s would seem easy to get and would save massive hours in building.

Am I foolhardy?

thoughts, comments?

thanks,

Paul S.
