: yah, I want to pay 80 dollars a gallon when I can get it for 20...

"Yah, right"???? (I'm so glad I offered advice! .. but we'll let that pass) As a matter of fact, you do. You are spending a great deal of time and energy if not money, to build your boat. To save a few bucks by using a material that is harder to work with, stinks to high heaven, and doesn't do as good a job is what we call false economy. Nobody is more of a cheapskate than I am, but I will gladly pay for good materials that make my job more fun as long as it doesn't break me. Your boat will be worth what you put into it, no more, no less.
