: What do you mean by hull characteristics? strength? stability? performance?

: Wes Tanaka

Stability and performance would change. You'd be deforming the hull to the point you'd have a different boat. Strength would not alter unless you load stress into previously cured glass, in which case it will release on some hot day and you'll have a white cloth checked pattern on the surface and weakened, compromised glass..

All the best,
Rob
