Don't waste the time glassing over wood. Does it ride and perform well now? will you be happy with it's performance after adding glass to a wood hull? You may only add a few years of life to the boat by trying to preserve it with glass, forget about the old boat, start fresh. System Three epoxy on Meranti plywood would last indefinately if well cared for just like fiberglass. It's alot of work building these stich and glue composite boats, sanding is a major part of it. Good luck

Saving material by starting with a rotted hull and trying to improve it will cost more money than buying the plywood required to build the boat you want. And it will weigh a hell of alot less and require less HP.
