I used to build canoes. Fiberglass is cool stuff, but a little messy and smelly(can be avoided if you got the bucks).

One word, if you intend on 'glassing over foam, make sure the foam you use is polyurethane, not polystyrene. If you 'glass over polystyrene, the resin will eat the foam. You can cheat by using alumunim foam between the foam and 'glass. The foil will act like a mold release.
