Scott Downey (sounds familiar....) says:

In order for glass to hold up to the pressure, the layer must be quite thick
as thick as a normal fiberglass hull.

So that your boat will now be about 35% overweight.

Repairs to the structure will then be made from the inside of the boat.

As long as you don't mind removing ALL the frames to repair one plank ;-)

Basically, all joking aside, if you want a wooden boat, have a wooden boat and
fix it properly when it breaks. If you don't want the hassle, then buy metal
or fiberglass.

Wood is not meant to last forever.

But there are more very old wooden boats around than there are very old steel
boats......

Wooden boats tend to have low valuations because the upkeep
required is a considerable and a normal part of their life.

You may want to check that.

They are a lot
of work.

No kidding ;-) You got that right, but they are worth it.
