I am getting ready to install a wakeboard tower on my 04 Glastron. I want to reinforce the hull but need to know if Fiberglass mat should be used or fiberglass woven cloth. I hear conflicting stories on which one is stronger for reinforcement. <br /><br />Thanks!

Ok, That is what I thought so I went and bought woven cloth, heavy weight. I also bought epoxy instead of resin which shold be stronger.
