Weight, construction time and cost occur to me as possible concerns. What are you trying to achieve by the 2 layer approach vs. mahogany plywood alone? The Squirt's a great looking boat, BTW.
: Am getting ready to start the squirt (as I finish the other boat I already began)
: Was thinking of building entirely out of 1/4 marine grade ply covered entirely with 1/8 mahogany, 6oz cloth and about 10 coats of varnish? This sound like a problem to anyone? Do I haveto screw or nail the mahogany or is the Glen-L epoxy glue sufficient?
: ALso..on the top of the squirt: what are the "white lines" between the mahogany boards filled with?..is it just an epoxy and a filler like silica?...
