 Markus Hofer  Various Hulls
 Special Notes
Dear Trent,

Your site is very informative, always an appetite bit for new projects. After building a few micro boats with GRP hulls, I chosed ply for the next ones. All three boats have been built by plan, available from Traplet Publications GB. All outside panels are 0.6mm ply with some balsa stringers inside. Foam fillers are used instead of foam base to work with fast cyano . The fact that those boats are running as fast or even faster than GRP hull boats was impressing.
