Thanks for the advice. I will check out the boat design link an Matan.
I was going to use straight polyester resin for the parts I am making - I will probably botch a few parts at first so cheaper is good. I didn't think there would be a great advantage to making a console and hatches with vinylester but I may be missing something. I am doing epoxy for any secondary bonding where needed and the stuff I am making is above the water so no worries about water intrusion. Are there other advantaged to VE resin? Please let me know if I am missing something - I have never used VE and I don't have much experience with this stuff.
I too have thought about doing my deck with VI but I wanted to start small to see if I could pull it off. That seems an ambitious project. I lightweight monolithic deck would be pretty cool if I could pull it off.
