Fiberglass Hull construction questions

[diveak]

Is there a website someone could point me to that has a rough outline of how to construct a hull using fiberglass cloth / resin?

I have this wild hair in my backside for a Christmas present, and want to see if I this is a realistic idea. It doesn't -seem- that difficult.

Any advice?

I may not be a web site but I have had experience with polyester resin and Glas cloth, matting etc. Some even say I have the smoothest bottoms they have ever seen LOL.

As soon as I scale down the hull design and cut some foam, I'm going to have plenty of questions!

I'm going to try to do a small fishing boat in 1/8th scale. It'll be about 25 1/3" long with a 12" beam.

Still figuring out details... like how to get away with building this on my kitchen table with limited tools. I'll probably end up scrapping this idea until later...

Any questions in the meantime? Let me know,
