I used 4oz inside and out, with tape on the inside under the 4oz a la the instructions, and only tape inside the ends beyond the bulkheads. No double layer on the bottom.

It is plenty stiff with only the single layer and only tape in the ends.

Still ended up at 45 lbs.

I put in a skeg too.

My skeg instructions here...
