Thats pretty much the way i envisioned doing it...his means of holding the staions together looks great.

I wonder how much glass is needed to make a stiff enough boat to sit in.
I would imagine the cockpit has to be heavily glassed or the whole boat could cave in where you sit.

Did he glass the whole inside or just the cockpit? It does'nt look like he seperated the hull and deck so he could glass the inside.

Also i wonder if where he is sitting if the foam gets permanently dented and seperated from the glass.
