| You first build a boat to take the mold off. If you are building only one, it doesn't pay. It is easier, faster and cheaper to cut a block of foam into the final shape.

| It would be much easier to "stitch" some sheet foam into the shape you desire, then 'glass both sides. I hope you have a set of plans . . . |
