18...and I like it

[steel686]

Thanks guys. I understand the logic and would like to do as much wet on wet as possible. I'm just trying to plan where I am not grinding through the strength of layers. It always comes back to the bigger/smaller first question. So if I clean up the taper on the outer skin, is it best to wrap full sheets of 1708 through and then fill in whats left of the void? It will take 6 layers in that area. Do I really need that much biax on the inner skin? I want to overbuild but I don't remember seeing that much in other threads.

I will also need to tie upper section of liner (7-8") around on to transom when that goes back in so don't want to create a hump. Probably overthinking but I want to feel confident I'm never tearing this one apart again.

Zach - I took your advice and created a big knee for under the motor well. Wish I had seen your 18 before you sold it.
