Hi John,

I will be doing the same on my hull, fiberglassing the entire interior. I had not considered forgoing the 3inch tape though, I will now. I am confident that the fillet's will be strong enough to hold the boat toghether and inshape whild fiberglassing the inside.. I have pretty small fillets (no tape yet) on my hull, and am building a strip deck in place on top of the hull, I've had not problem with the fillets breaking. I'm pretty sure fiberglassing will not be more stressfull than what I am doing.

Hope it works for you

Myrl
