Boat hulls

Hello everyone i am kind of lost on the boat building topic but im starting to learn. I need to know about the type of material that can be used to build a hull. I know of plywood and i know of Foam Core but if i have a plug made for my hull do i need to use anything but fiberglass to create the mold and what type of fiberglass and material should be used to create the hull mold that will no break because i know that wood and other material are usally covered by fiberglass to create sturdiness and strenght but i am wanting my hull mold to look like the picture i have below that in the link please look at the link i could not get the image to come up on my post for some reason. But everyone put you info into my topic i really need this question answered for my project Thank You to All that make this forum Great

Are you building one boat or numerous boats? If you are starting a boat company, I suggest you have your head examined! (Just kidding!-I have been in this business far too long!) If you are starting a production company, have a designer design a boat for you and then a tooling company build the molds. If you are building one boat, use foam cored glass, plywood or aluminum. I suggest you buy some books on boatbuilding and read them carefully-you can lose lots of money very quickly in the boat business!
