This thread rules. It's making me appreciate how easy I have it restoring my little sailboat. I've definitely sold my soul to the West System, but thick fiberglass and occasionally rotten core seems a lot easier for a hack to work with than the flattened tin cans and thin sheathing of a camper/RV. Of course my wife walked in while I was reading and was all, "Oh, one of those would be really nice." (She's not big on tent camping) and I don't think she realizes the psychic trap she just sprung on me.

I'm switching my little sailboat to an propane outboard. I don't have an LPG locker so I'm still working the logistics* but it amazes me the dichotomy between DIYers who are convinced you're going to blow yourself up and manufacturers who do hacky but technically compliant poo poo like that. * I'm just going to throw the tank in the lazarette where the 6-gal gas tank went and not worry about it because there's only a single flex line between the bottle and outboard and no 12v system means no ignition sources, and I assume I'd smell the gas before I spark a spliff while hanging out in the bilge.

That Corelite board looks interesting. I'm going to be building a 5-sided propane locker to drop into the cockpit locker on my boat. I wanted to build it out of corrugated plastic sheeting with West System epoxy and glassed edges but it looks like adhesion would be a problem. If the surface is durable enough for use on cabinetry without having to lay glass over that's pretty cool.

You didn't use the 404 filler, did you? Maybe weigh it on a different scale. I weighed my boat and trailer when I launched this season and it came to 3750 loaded/1500 empty, and 1500lbs really sounds high for a tandem axel with basic wooden bunks.
