Here are some pricing options based on Canadian $ ( not worth much compared to USD right now)
If all you wanted was 6 oz. glass everywhere, inside and out, the you could go with 17 yds. of 6 in. wide with a pricing of $8.65 for a total of 147.05. This piece will cover inside and out deck and hull, scraps for re-enforcing hatches, cockpit, and making seam tape. Or if you cut in half lengthwise, then only 6 yds. will do for total of $51.90. If you went with 38 inch wide for whole boat, then total would be 23 yds. at $6.95/yd. for total of $159.85. But remember that a wider cloth cut on a slight angle will drape over the boat better, especially the curved hull. The 60 inch cut in half lengthwise will not do this as well.
If you wanted to add second layer to outside hull, then purchase a piece of 4 oz. in 24 wide and you would only need maybe 5 yds.
If you were to go with only 4 oz., everywhere, inside and out , then 18 yds. of 50 inch wide will do the same as the 6 oz. by 60 inch. It is $8.10 per yd. for total of $145.80 as compared to 4 oz. by 30 inch wide for length of 23 yds. at a price of $5.40 for total of $124.20
keeping in mind the diagonal cut drapes better.
Or you go with only 6 oz. on the outside of the hull, then purchase 38 inch wide for 6 yds. at $42.30 plus maybe 17 yds. of 4 oz. at 30 inch wide to cover all the rest of the kayak for additional $91.80 or $134.10 total.
So you can see, there are many different combinations from $52 to $152 and I am sure others will add different options as this is only for standard weave E-glass.
