[QUOTE="Zum, post: 85648, member: 349"] Fiberglass is super strongand watertight. Built a 14' fiberglass jon boat years ago and made a live well by taking a cardboard box for the frame,fiberglassed it in place.It wasn't even a 1/8",when I filled it with water,the cardboard box just came out in peices,leaving a nice light,water tight space.The whole boat couldn't of weighed more then 150-200lbs,put it in my truck bed alone,almost always. I don't know if people realize that fiberglass lobster rigs here are only about 3/16" in most places.I also see on here sometimes that fiberglass will seperate from wood,I don't think thats true either,most rigs before the all fiberglass rigs were wood and fiberglass,still alot of them around and they don't come out of the salt water.
