Thats quite a range, 1 to 3 psi. I'd assume that the adhesion was good, that they used a biaxial layup on multiple layers. Where does the commercial boat fall?

> glass/wood/glass | panel weight (oz) | deflection (in) | failure (lbs)

> 4oz/1/4"/4oz | 9.0 | 0.45 | 150

or 1.04 psi

> 4oz/4oz/1/4"/4oz/4oz | 10.3 | 0.70 | 375

or 2.6 psi

> 6oz/1/4"/6oz | 9.8 | 0.49 | 221

> 6oz/6oz/1/4"/6oz/6oz | 12.3 | 0.58 | 450

or 3.125 psi
