Nice job. I would like to build a bigger boat out of foam sheets and fiberglass. Many aircraft built this way. Is anyone doing this with boats ???

[boatbuildercentral]

it is common to build a one off foam core boat, I have done it myself. Its not easy however, please check out our website for much more info on this

Yes it is difficult. I was involved in an aircraft build, it went fairly smoothly but you have to get a handle on what your doing fast of you will mess up. Thanks
