I'm not sure that fiberglass weighs less than wood. You might want to rethink
your guess. Hulls are often cored with light weight woods to reduce the weight
below what the boat would weigh if solid rove and resin.
=================================================
Typical boat building woods weigh about 40 to 45 pounds per cubic
foot. Fiberglass laminate (FRP) weighs almost 90 pounds per cubic
foot.
