You know you could just lay foam over the frames and home build that way. It
would be a shit load quicker

OK I think every one by now should know how I feel and it is my own
opinion. Whatever happens, whe should protect the ability of a home
builder to be able to produce a boat that will be able to be very
competative. That off my chest, I know Bram has strong feelings for
keeping the wood deck but I'd say if you are molding boats, mold the whole
thing because if I guy can't strip a hull, he can't strip the deck either.
Actually the deck is more complex than the hull.
Beleive it or not, I'm OK on molded boats. Allow the builder(s) to offer
completed and kit boats. Let the buyer decide at what level they want to
step in at and go from there. Whoever builds them must be reputable for
quality and craft. The layup schedule should produce a boat that can hold
up for a minimum of around 10 years without having serious issues. I don't
know if that is Nomex, Divinicell, epoxy, some form of poly, or what but
the boat should not pull apart in the first season and you shouldn't have
to get a new hull ever season either.
My $0.02.
Fugu is loaded on the rack inside the trailer. It worked better than I
thought my hairbrained scheme would. Now to toss in the camping gear and
load Davids boat. I'll be leaving SLC probably the 6th.
