: For the first boat I think I'd want to do the boat with 6 ounce,
: it's much stronger and more forgiving. 4 ounce works, but the
: boat won't take hard knocks as well as it'll dent easier. Much
: depends on your skill with fiberglass and skill with paddling.
: If it's your first time with glass and you're a beginner paddler
: you'll definately want a more rugged boat.

Thanks Bill-
will go with your glassing schedule as i do want to have some durability so it can survive the beginner's learning curve.
