Thanks Jim I got it. That is quite the boat.
For my purposes aluminum pontoons are probably my best option. I am
also going to use

bleeding out of my MBTs and be
able to walk around and do maintenance.

Dean, Google "Gougmaran" and there are other links. The first one
was a pdf from West System's Epoxyworks magazine. Hope this
