So do you think I should use CSM for the first layer in the hull before the Balsa then put the 1708 over the Balsa? I have some 1 1/2 CSM and the 1708, but I can order whatever I need .

I know this has been asked many times but I'm looking for some too. Does anyone still make the black rubber rub rail that fits over the factory aluminum rail? What about a replacement Vector windshield ? I thought about bonding the top deck to the hull and filling the rivet holes and just use some o...
