An argument here concerning someone shooting a 12 g shotgun at a
sailboat at various distances. At close range, no argument, 00
buckshot would go right thru the fiberglass. At what range would it
not penetrate?
What about slugs?

I wouldn't bet against a slug going through just about any boat. We
had a junk car we used to shoot at in the garbage dump/range where we
shot as a kid If you didn't hit something solid a slug would go in
one door and out the other side of the car. The seat back did a fairly
good job of stopping the slug,after going through the door, until it
came apart.

Standard powder load or load yourself?
