[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 71420, member: 55"] Fiberglass is a horrible choice in your case. That is the reason old fiberglass boats are junk these days. The wood in the decks, stringers, and transoms collects water, and being incased in glass, it can't dry out, so it rots. That is why all reputable manufactures have gone to all glass boats, with no wood, in place of the conventional method of glass mat and resin over wood. Is fiberglass really the finish you want, or would a marine vinyl or something over spar varnish (to protect the wood) be possible as well? [/QUOTE]
