Wow! those are beautiful boats you can be proud of,I was just lucky I read somewhere the bottom takes the most beating and keep it light (color) and it hides scratches best, so I used sapele strips for the keel and Douglas fir for the football, 3.2oz glass and one fill coat of epoxy it weighed in at 34lbs with foot pegs and 2 foam bulkheads but no seat Nick R.
