Re: [Electric Boats] mounting motor on glassed ply?

 

Hi Dave.

Very interesting site!

Quick question(s) - how many layers of cloth/mat? and how thick is the finished board?

Any help/advice would be appreciated. I have tons of general questions but will contact you directly after things are a bit more specific.
