Glassman, talk to me about the price for using fabric and resin to cover a framed foam board box measuring 6'long x 4 ft wide x 6'6" walls with a hipped roof 8' tall at the peak. The floor would get glassed too.

Assume structural layers in all of the corners and a double layer for the floor with 1.5" thick imbedded plywood.


ETA: fiberglass and resin materials only no labor please.

I don't know. I would be building it from scratch and want it to be light, strong, durable, and waterproof.

My plan is to build the frame out of 2x2 white pine on top of 2 laminated pieces of 3/4" plywood. Then black in using foam board and glass over that on the exterior and then finally glass in the floor.

Inside glass on the floor pan only (floor and 12" kick around the floor). After thinking about it I could just use layer of thin plywood for the kick. So maybe just the floor.

I had invisioned the floor being like a transom with the wood of the floor completely encased in fiberglass.

Glassman. You may not know it but you helped me rebuild my boat in 09. Your suggestions and expertise were greatly appreciated.
