I was looking at the 36' Devil Im not sure if you have seen that particular model it has a 14' 7'' beam with a carolina flair its supposidly a, very stable platform,with very good seakeeping ability .

Do you have a set of blue-prints for that boat we can see?

[seagull427]

Cobra 1 you seem to have alot of knowledge about boat building is this your hobby or your profession?Anways how many layers of glass do you use on a boat hull ?or does the size of the boat dictate that?and what is the sequence of fiberglass ? is it matt, glass cloth,roving and back to matt?until you get the desired thickness? or is there a formula for length of boat like for example that 36'jersey styled boat maybee 3/4'' to 1'' for the bottom and sides about 1/4'' somthing like that.

layup sequence from outside in:
gel-coat
mat
mat
roving
mat
roving

..................to the deisired thickness................
yes, size of boat determines thickness (consult you local NA)
..........scantling rules apply to all boats.....................

It seems that the glass industy is full of theives so be VERY careful who you deal with. Don't use ANYONE in lake havasu az. I have documentation to back up my claims. Get it in writing with a legal contract with deadlines and penalties and don't pay anything up front. Make sure that parts don't get backdoored out of your molds. I could go on and on about this industry. Just my opinion of course. COVER YOUR A____
