Boundary Waters Quetico Forum Gear Forum Wenonah IB ultralight layup |
justpaddlin: "I'm biased. I got mine used and I love the look. Goes nicely with Wenonah's black aluminum gunwales. As far as function I honestly don't know the facts but I think it adds a pound or two and should help a tiny bit with impact resistance (not sure about abrasion resistance since it's under gelcoat). I treat it like lightweight kevlar (I'm kind to it but don't baby it) and enjoy a little extra peace of mind even if it's not justified. :)

Ok, maybe I have misunderstood the Wenonah approach for years... I was under the impression that Wenonah only puts a thin, clear gelcoat on top of their aramid boats. They call it a skincoat. Do they actually put a "full thickness" clear gel coat on the entire hull? Or just the bottom part of the hull?"
