Pound for pound. Wood is much stronger than GRP

Was wondering, there're a lot of nice designs for plywood boats out here
now
and some look very attractive.

What I wonder is how do they handle in comparison to a similar built hull
in
fiberglass.

We had an extensive give and take on this, on a NE fishing board, and
everyone said that "heavy" is one quality thaey all want in a boat.

So ...is it worth looking to designs like Arch Davis or Bateau or (I want
to
build my own boat) look into something like a C-Flex design.

Than yiu.
