In Response To: Re: Strip: fibre glass wieght (river rat)

: Thanks for all of the respondes i think I will go with 3 layers of 2 oz
: inside and on the deck and 4 layers of 2 oz on the hull. I do not plan on
: going white water just pond and rivers.

: River Rat
For ponds and rivers a lot of people, including me, think that one layer of 4oz is more than enough.

That is what I have used for three singles and a double used on lakes and rivers and open ocean. I have no reason to think it needed heavier glass for those applications.
