So: If you'll be laying-up a fiberglass hull and can stand the styrene
smell, Vinylester resin would be a sound choice, especially for

Mike,
Thanks a ton for your clarification. I was under the impression that
some claims were a bit far fetched. I will be glassing a wood hull in
this boat so it appears that epoxy will be the one to use. I will do
some price hunting and see what i can get. Thanks again for your
