Re: One more time with reglassing our deck.

Probably just confusing things with more options.

Re: One more time with reglassing our deck.

I'd say both. Lighter glass would be a bit easier, easier to wet out, easier to bend around any curvy bits, more manageable epoxy batches.

And at the end, you have more glass.

The difference...

If you wanted to do it in two layers of lighter glass, say 400 GSM, you could peel ply between layers, which would virtually eliminate sanding.

Re: One more time with reglassing our deck.

For purely waterproofing, sure. But it's a deck. Gonna cop knocks and bumps.

Definitely not excessive.

Ours is a lightweight boat. But the decks are 1000 GSM. (Not over ply though).

No. For flat surfaces it will be easy, in double bias it would even conform to shapes pretty well.

On a balsa or foam core, I'd say you'd want quite a bit heavier, but with ply it should be enough.

I'd go with the heavier glass. It'll be more resistant to accidental damage from dropped winch handles etc
