Hello Ty, and welcome to Mayhem. The choice of materials to build your hull from is a personal one, and depends on your experience with differing techniques. Speaking for myself, I always build from wood, mainly because I have no experience in the use of fibreglass, other than using it for internal strengthening of wooden hulls. There is quite a lot of work involved in producing a fibreglass hull, but many people do and with great success. One benefit of fibreglass is once the mould has been made it's relatively easy to produce any number of hulls. If you decided to go the fibreglass route I'm sure you would be able to get plenty of assistance and advice from Mayhem members.
I hope you enjoy Mayhem,
Peter.
