    Could you guys recommend a good book or two on modern FRP boat construction? I am interested in "one off" techniques, vacuuming, infusion, materiel handling etc,
    Thanks,
    Guy

    West System offers a good book and it will tell you just about everything you need to know and the cost of that book is around $4.85 and it is a softcover 52 page's . I see your location is Maine and these folks are in or around your area and sell the book . www.JamestownDistributors.com

    Thanks for the reply GG.
    The book I am looking for has not been written yet,

    Eric Goetz on boat construction

    That other book with a similar title fired my imagination and made things possible for me years ago.

    While I am waiting for Mr Goetz what else might I read?
