I have seen fiberglass boats put together with resin that
was uncombustible... and I've seen fiberglass insulation
panels that would withstand temps that would turn your steel
boat into a puddle.

No, actually they're not. Many are built for the military
using resin that is either non-combustible or actually
flame-retardant.


Your trawler would be ashes before RedCloud even started glowing red.


Probably so, since it was built with common resin. OTOH I am
far smarter than to let it catch fire in the first place.
And steel or not, I hope you do likewise with your boat.

Besides, Red Cloud is 100% certain to rust away,
eventually... very few fiberglass boats will ever catch fire
and those mostly due to carelessness.
