Thanks for all of input! I’ve been off line the last few days working on the boat burning midnight oil.

I received the woven braided tubing very interesting material. I have not made a final decision on the molding method yet. The braided tube will give me a continuous weave that will expand or contract and keep the fibers in the correct orientation.

Any way that is the fun part about boat building is figuring thing out and coming up with ingenious ways to solve the problems.

Go out and buy it pre-made has never been cheaper! Plus that spoils the fun.

I’ll let you know how my method works, and it is a precursor for building the beams, which will be a unique shape. I had the engineering performed on the beam shape and it proves out structurally stiffer then a circle or teardrop.
