About a gallon and a half for epoxy inside and out. I put a layer of 3.25 oz glass on the outside, and it doesn't seem to take any more epoxy then just a plain coating, and light glass like that is very cheap, I think it was less then $20.00 for the glass. edit: 11 yards of 30" 4oz is about $41...

This single pole would require the diode, which would add another component.

A single pole will suit your needs.

There was some discussion on here a while back about how in small boats (canoe and kayak) that the space needed to be full or there needed to be vent holes, but that in larger boats that was unnecessary.

JM will have a expert opinion, but anyone who has seen an all fiberglass boat cut up knows that it is very think, and not 1 layer. Without the wood providing support, you need lots of glass for structure. When I have watched boats being made in this manor (there are some good videos online) they hav...

With the 16 pitch prop it tops out right at 40. Lighly loaded it WILL slighty go over the redline of 6000. I am thinking that with a 18 to 19 pitch prop might do 45mph. At least, and it would keep it under the redline, AND should provide better economy. The boat itself looks good, but that interior...

The bow lights (sometimes called running lights) are generally run off one switch, and the stern (sometimes called anchor light) is run of a separate switch.

Those are some good looking seats. I get where the three will for a 'bench' like unit, and I understand the two 'stools', but what is the other full seat for?

I thought they were generally run off the 'switched' power to the engine, not a separate instrument switch. (but that goes back to what I remember from cars, your results may vary)

Sounds similar to what I did, I did overlap the 4 oz at the seems, so all the seems have two layers on the outside (3 or 4 at the corners), and then the tape on the inside. I would almost bet, that it would hold together with just the fillet material, if sealed properly, that is tough, hard stuff.
