ok my idea is to make a squirt boat in stitch n glue style. I have a design made with the huls program that seems to work when I make a model of it. the basic shape will be flat bottom with a 2 chined side. the deck will be inverted in the middle. to really understand the design you shouold download the files off my homepage.

ok my design is not the least of my worries. if I plan to take this boat on whitwater what kind of cloth should I lam on to it... I am planing on taping the seams on the inside of the hull and using a full sheet of fibreglass inside and outside the hull and the same for the deck. I will be using 10 oz. 4" tape "what I have sitting around" and 6 oz s glass I will be using west system not polyester crap. I will end up haveing 2 peices of the boat to join... and I will do that with the 10 oz. tape. should I invest in some kevlar tape? or even carbon?

on another note... in the last boat I built. I had trouble with wires tearing out. since this boat is going to be even harder to bend into place... what should I do to make the wires hold?

anything u see wrong with or question about my little idea... tell me about. any good advice is very much appreciated.

I will be keeping a journal of my building proscess online thanks DAVE
