Answer Hi Brad
Ok Do you have a design on paper to cut out the hull frames from --I do not recommend designing it your self as a first attempt!!!!!
Make the frames of 3/8 ply or solid timber ---something you can pin or screw to , the outer skin should be 1/8 ply and any longitudinal in solid timber again!!!!!
To make it water tight paint the in side of the hull with GRP RESIN
AND PAINT THE OUT SIDE WITH OIL BASED PAINT.
