I am suprised that a good designer leaves out fiberglass
specifications on plans for a 35' trawler! Are you certain it's not
somewhere in the notes?
Anyway, here is what we would use:
- fiberglass covering on plywood, if only for protection and
resistance to abrasion: 9 oz. woven but, you could use 12 oz. biaxial
45/45 no matt and add strength to those panels. The biaxial fiber
orientation at 45/45 will complement the plywood fibers at 0-90. It
cost only a tiny little bit more, less than $ 50.00 extra for the
whole boat.
- fairing epoxy: it can not be done with Bondo type stuff. We sell a
unique product from System Three named QuickFair. It is an epoxy
fairing compound that is easy to apply, cures fast and is easy to sand
and it is not soft like WEST Microlight. See a complete description

You can ask questions about application etc. on our message baord and
there, you will also read opinions and tips about fairing on epoxy:
