Markus,

I tend to agree with 'dad'. In fact I'll go one better {Cheaper}.

I have had excellent results using 'waterproof' Lauan. NOT the 'Borg
Special' at $9.95 a sheet, but close. I went to a local hardwood dealer
{lumberyard} and asked for the stuff. Made ABSOLUTELY sure we were talking
about the same thing. $14.95 a sheet for decent looking 1/4in material. I
KNOW the pram lasted 7 years - the buyer contacted me to replace the skeg
that the {house} movers had sheered off !!

The hull & transoms were sheathed with 6oz cloth and epoxy. The hull was
primed & painted, the transoms {3/4in Lauan}were varnished. Then primed &
painted interior was primed & painted.

Regards & Good Luck,

I will threat the whole boat with Fiber and Epoxy . . .

Doesn't much matter as it is just a base for the glass & epoxy.
