This does not answer your question, but I assume you have seen it or if not you might like to see it.

i had not seen that website. but wow. this guy did a great job. does this meen i have to use carbon fibre on the marblehead? wonder how the boat is hooked up with winch ? or arm.
any more help coming . thank you
Hey dude, been a long time hasn’t it? I have a Bantock STRAD and it is made from his molds all carbon. He uses what we call a squish mold, as in postitive and negative and you wetout the material and then pressure the two molds together and sandwich the material in between. It drives out the excess resin and leaves a finished surface on both sides of the hull.
You don’t have to use carbon, it is a better choice but worth the money? Well… that is a speculative answer. I am not good enough to tell 2-3 ozs difference in a boat. You can use a quality “S” glass layup and come in cheaper and reasonably close in the weight/strength category. If you are good with your boat, you are going to do well, those ounces won’t bring you a trophy.
