Alan:

This boat originally had pointy ends but I was not very fond of them either. They were too prone to damage!

I made forms at each end using -if you can believe it - packing tape! Then I filled each form with a mixture of epoxy and shredded glass for extra strength. When I removed the tape, I did the final shaping with a rasp and sandpaper.

Sorry but I did not take any pictures.
