Actually, the weight isn't in the glass, it's in the resin. Laminate strength doesn't come from weight, it comes from a high glass to resin ratio. The hulls produced today using vacuum bagging and resin infusion have a higher strenght to weight ratio than our classic hulls.
That being said, weight is a key component of the classic Seacraft ride. Heavier hulls bust through the waves better. If you don't believe it, take a ride in a Bertram. Wet as hell, but oh so smoothe.
