Ok, so the glass mat is out. Do you think it's necessary to use fiberglass at all? What if I just use 5 oz kevlar? How many layers of that would it take to build a boat? I was thinking maybe 4 for the hull and 3 for the deck, but like I said I dont have any experience with the stuff. Thanks again for the help.
