: Just how many strips did you use?

Hi Bobby, 64 strips (32 per side)

: Also why the 3.2 oz satin cloth?

Satin needs less epoxy to fill the weave. I'm not an expert but the thinking is that the fill coats add weight and almost no additional strength. Also, I got some pretty bad sagging in my first boat's fill coats.
