1) Plywood saturated with epoxy.
2) 6 oz. fiberglass saturated with epoxy.
3) Two fill coats of epoxy.
4) Sanded as mentioned previously

Glen-L has drift boats listed under Human Power and Specialty Boats. My friend is interested in a boat of this type and I am going to help him build it. What are the differences between these on the Glen-L site?

Thanks.
