Re: Advice needed on boat kits
All great advice; many thanks! From my perspective, if I go a bit up in size and capability, there is a significant jump in kit price. If I go down, not much savings are realized. I may move forward with the FS17 (unless other inputs suggest otherwise).

Good choice with the way the kits are cut now with the interlocking pieces they go together easily.MarshallTX wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 4:13 pm All great advice; many thanks!

As a suggestion do some practice with a couple 2x2 plywood panels with the fiberglass to get the feel of it. Also when you order your epoxy kit order 2 or 3 extra gallons everybody always uses more than the kit has in it.MarshallTX wrote: ↑Thu Mar 04, 2021 4:13 pm All great advice; many thanks!
