So I have a Garvey type boat made from fiberglass that I recently replaced the floor and stringers in. The boat has no gunnels similar to a Carolina skiff. I would like to add a generous 14-16 inch gunnel to the boat Similar to the snow goose Garvey posted a few days ago. I plan to build it from 3/8 marine ply then give it to my friend who does fiberglass work to attach it to the boat. The fiberglass guy wants to use 1.5 Oz Mat and poly resin two layers thick. I thought to just use 6 Oz cloth anyone care to weigh in? I'm going to do a second post with pictures. In the front I made a template for the plywood to get the crown where I liked it. It should have 1 3/4 of crown on the front deck.
