Have a final project I have to do for my Marine Composites class.........just so happens that I have a friend with a 73 Seacraft Tsunami (awesome boats) that needs a hard top- might make one for my Cruisers too if it turns out ok. We have to make a mold and then build it out of fiberglass with coring. I have some questions....

What kind of coring to use, it's going to have to hold antenna masts and a radar. We have balsa, honeycomb and foam to choose from.

I have a length and width but need to know what kind of pitch needed to drain water and if anyone has attempted anyting like this.

What kind of glass to use? I believe we have on hand 1808, 2415 and 3 oz chopped mat.

Thanks!
