Steve,

With all the input you have had, its time to set up some forms and build a couple of test sections. If that isn't the fun part, then it's the wrong project for you. Make one side of the first four bow forms in foam core and the other side in wood core. Don't stop until you have taken both sides to complete painted finish so you learn all the advantages and disadvantages of each technique at all steps in the build.

Then decide which method you prefer and use it to build the entire boat.

If you don't have the time or resources to do this, then pick a S&G design and build that using proven plywood/glass techniques.

Sam
