: Oh yeah, the 3.2 ounce will work, but it's not real damage
: resistant, would be fairly easy to dent. Used carefully though
: it would make for a real light boat and that alone can be really
: nice :)

Using a harder core material (say a hardwood like mahogany or sapele.. not sure how I know that...) offsets this lack of damage resistance. The thinner skins help negate the added the weight though.
