RE: Fiberglass the hull
Sounds like you may be doing too large an area at once. Work on one section at a time. Overlap each section by 1/4 to half an inch. You will have pleanty of time to work the glass around. Heck, I glass an entire mold with two layers of different glass types before it kicks off. Take you time and plan ahead what you will need before you mix your resin.
