overbore,
thanks for your input.
I totally agree with you and would not touch polyester at all.
I will build in
EPOXY throughout, costs me double of polyester but in the long run I win, definitely.
Also I am building this boat in a housing community and no one would accept the smell of polyester, me included
Osmosis is a nightmare for everyone who owns a boat built out of polyester !!!
I also prefer to work with Epoxy's, almost no smell and a long open time, this material is much stronger too.
I will use
quatraxial E-glass throughout, which calls for Epoxy too, this will give me an extremely strong hull, all strength data's are at least double (most triple) compared to Polyester and CSM/roving layup.
Drive line will be
0°, perfect in line with the power thrust and built into a
LONG keel to protect the prop and rudder.
Gary,
Vinyl Ester is good staff too, but I can get Epoxy for the same price (direct from the factory), therefore I go for Epoxy
Both of you have a great day
Pedro
