: Looks awesome!

: I'm curious as to what you used for your fiberglass layup? As well, which
: methods did you use for your hatches and coaming? I have plans and manual
: for the SS which I may start later this year, and I haven't decided on the
: details yet.

: cheers

Fibreglass is 4oz with extra on the football and in all the places that get extra ware.Coaming as Nick Shade does in his plans.Hatches are a real mixture of a lot of trial and errors.A tounge at the back and the bolt goes into a block glued in the front under the deck.
