Extra fiberglass reinforcements

I seem to have a problem of over glassing my boat but can't seem to stop, and I weigh that against the extra weight it will cause the boat to come in at. The stressed areas are glassed with 24 oz's, stern, bow & keel and an extra full layer in the cockpit hull area. Also used 1/4" chopped glass as a fillet in the bow & stern for extra strength. I would like to know how this compares with the norm?
