Hey, Larry-

Interesting info. Great to hear that the 4oz s wet out as clear as the 4oz e. You mentioned that you could have lost another 6 # without compromizing strength. Where/how? Also, did the 4 oz s drink the same amount of epoxy as the e? Who was your supplier?

On the two boats I just finished, I used 1.8 oz kevlar on the inside of the hull, e glass everywhere else. With 5/32" hardwood core, the weights are about 32-33#, mininally outfitted, compared to 38-40# for my first boats with traditional layup.

Based on your info, I think I'll consider 4 oz s on outside next boat. Anyone else have experience with 4oz s? Mike
