That would be nice but Pygmy doesn't give enough fiberglass to do that, but now finding out that it will only cost me $30 extra for a full sheet, I think that will be the easier way to go.

I was also wondering on the edge of the boat Pygmy wants me to overlap the sheer seem by 1". Is this very necessary? Again this looks very poor.
