I just need extreme
: impact resistance.

If you don't have Charles Walbridges book on building ww. glass boats you should get it. Impacts I would still take all that epoxy in the felt and apply it to a kevlar/s-glass laminate with the emphasis on the s-glass and just enough kevlar to keep fractures from piercing the wood with the reverse on the inside.
