Bill, the entire boat was packaged as a kit, by CLC. I think it unlikely they have mishandled their fiberglass. And, I'm not seeing how your diagnosis squares with my picture of the actual glasswork. Here's another shot, showing glasswork up close, in the stern. This is exactly what the entire interior looked like.

: Actually it looks like the glass might have contaminates on it so
: it didn't wet out equally everywhere. Glass needs to be stored
: properly to prevent this. Not all suppliers store it properly
: either so it might not be something you've done.

: It's not the glass itself btw, it's the sizing (coating) that
: allows the glass to properly bond with the epoxy. The other
: possibility is it was sized for polyester which isn't always
: totally conpatable with epoxy. Not all glass suppliers state
: which sizing the glass has in their ads and most builders don't
: know to ask.
