Make sure to saturate the glass with mixed resin. West systems is a little tricky but produces the best results. Mix 105/206 at 5:1 by weight. This combo has a longer set time, which is good if you need to work it a bit.

Compare this profile to original, much refined entry. I left the bottom of the hulls untouched as to leave as much flotation low in the profile as possible.
