I am starting a GV11.
Plan is to build the hull for planing with > 10hp. I will glass bottom panels with 12oz bi-ax inside and out. Planning on using bi-ax tape on keel seam and frame seams, debating on bi-ax or 9oz tape for upper/bottom seam. Currently plan on glassing upper panels with 9oz on the outside only.

Re: Starting GV11
Hi, welcome. Looking forward to watching another GV take shape. Good choice on the GV11, I built a GV10 but should probably have gone for the GV11. Looks like you’re off to a good start.
Alan.

Looking forward to the build.

Re: Starting GV11
Biaxial tape for the seams please.
Fallguy - unless you're carrying a crowd, the GV10 is plenty. We had 6 adults in a GV11 and that was full, 4 adults in GV10 was full

Getting ready to do some taping
Re: Starting GV11
Is this boat crying for 15hp or would 9.9hp bee sufficient?
