First the plywood was scrap which =free.second i was always taught too use what you are using to get a correct fit. then vynil ester then 1.5 oz chop strand matt.then resin on the wood and same matt then resin on other side of wood then matt then resin then matt then bolted together till set up then resin then 1.5 oz chop strand matt 2 layers then 3.0 oz chop strand matt then 2 layers woven roving . then resin with black pigment over it. let dry, cut hole, reassembled. and im not smart enough to baffle anybody with bs. just proud of what i did.i'm still learning. thats why im asking.

O-Ginger, you have to realize that not everyone does this type of work for a living like you, has the money or time to dump in a boat, nor is working on a 100K boat.

BD, it's great see that you are saving a bucket of rot vs hauling it to the dump!

I've seen a few boats done with it. No problems that I've heard of, but they are also small boats with no more than a couple hundred horsepower.
