Fiberglassing is easy. Start with a small piece to get a feel for it.
And yes, to build a model is an excellent way to "debug" the building.

ken...
I suggest NOT using Ken as a boat model, as your boat may have to have cafe' curtains and be painted pink,( there has never been a pregnant barbie ) and Ken does NOT come with tools

If Joe has his own fishin gear, what pound test is he using? I guess hooking a snapper would be like a 200 pound trophy fish?
Opps, guess we go back to the HB20 build? Wait, this is on topic! That's why we need that Joe in your model... with his fishin gear! Looks like you would need the kung fu grip, to hold the gear. Maybe Jacques will add Joe to the store inventory for model builders. But wait... didn't they shrink Joe so he could fit in with the tiny StarWars action figures? Wasn't he a foot tall way back when?
Why not have Joe build the model? Then you'd need to find a Joe sized respirator and belt sander, etc.

Well, I finally got a little ways on the paper model.
I am cutting card stock down to simulate 4 by 8 sheets of plywood. I am using a 1"=1' scale, just to keep things simple.
I have the two stringers in place and now I will glue the side onto the bottom. After that, I am on to the frames and internal supports.
