Making a fiberglass hull (or deck or hatch or toilet) requires a vaccum infusion laminating technique. A complicated mess of an operation where more money is being spent on disposable material like tubes and vaccum traps than material for the finished part. Not to mention you have to build a mold first.

A couple of hears ago it was very popular in Sweden, to buy "semifinished" boat. The hull was already done, you have only to do the rest.

I remember, that one of my fathers working college, bought one of this and he used 2-3 summers to finished it.

Got to tell, that I would build it in aluminium or steel
