You're right,it' works great just for dealing with water but when things start getting to point stresses having a brittle skin starts to have some limitations. Not everyboat has to be as bash proof as 55lbs of fiberglass but if the boats going to be as bash durable to point stress then it'll take something other than 6oz. regular weave e-glass. Still, the boats aren't meant to suffer bashing like that more than once in a blue moon.
