: I'm all wishy-washy about which fiberglass to use.

Will,
Go to the RAKA web site, look at the 3.25 cloth in 50 inch. This is what you need in only 1 layer, Top, bottom, inside and out. No fill coats inside. Maybe a small patch extra right under your butt and under your heals if you are a heavy weight. A Mystery is full on race and you need to be light. Any more is overkill. I would only use cedar and mill it 1/8 " 5/8" wide or less. Don't use hard wood. Find light and dark cedar if you want color contrast. If you want to build fast build light get extreme. Look at the Outer Island Kurt Maurer just built. A 30 LB Strip build is something to be extremely proud of. Now just go for it.
