Re: [bolger] Re: Wyoming (xynole)

The only problem with the parker refrence is that the
boats are massive, closer to conventional scantlings
with bolger you can be talking the same sheating
scantlings (though not necesarily) in boats that range
in size from 20-40 feet. so some will be sturdy, and
oithers will be pushing the envelope a little. So at
a minimum, anyone considering xynole should be getting
the substitution approaved by Phil in advance. And if
as in one example I cited we are talking about
substituting 80 oz of armoring for 12, it will not
likely be all that controvercial.
