Epoxy: Fill coats

G'day, Could anyone offer some advice with not filling the weave after wetting out. I would like to keep the finished weight down and am thinking about skipping fill coats on all inside glass (deck/hull). Would this compromise overall strength of the kayak. Glass was rolled on with very good wet out. Kayak to be used in rough water - no rocks.

Thanks

Tony
