i was thinking of building a small speed boat, no more than 20 in. i would like a catamaran hull. anyone see a ploblem with building it out of balsa and resining on top of it? i was wondering if anyone had any plans they could send me. it would just be something fun to play with and to replace my old and slow radio shack cat.
thanks.
thanks.

well I dont have plans, but yeah you can cover balsa, however I'd use cloth too, just using balsa covered in epoxy would make for one brittle boat, basically would be like an egg shell. You add some fiberglass cloth and you've got yourself a tank.

ok cool, i was just thinking since it's not going to be a huge boat just resin would be enough. so would just one layer of cloth be fine or two?
