Hello - just found this forum.
I picked up a foam Sea Snark on the cheap a couple years ago and used it to get re-acquainted with sailing. Have recently acquired a Sunfish and since I have this other boat to sail, I am thinking I would like to restore/upgrade the old Snark. I've read a little bit about glassing the hull on the yahoo Snark Group, but Yahoo is somewhat difficult for me to navigate through the old posts so It's hard to put together real good info. So I thought I'd ask if there are any here who have done the upgrade, that might be able to give a heads-up on the cost and the best way to do it.
I don't want to try to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear - but I want to keep the Snark around for car-topping into small lakes, so anything I can do to make it more durable and possibly more efficient...
I also figure on making more efficient rudder and daggerboard while I'm at it (I have an extensive woodshop).

Thanks to an oyster bed, I now have the same problem.
Something that I thought of was spray on truck bed liner. You can buy a kit for ~$100 or individual aerosole cans for ~$20 which seems more reasonable for a $500 boat.
The only problem I can think of is that it might dissolve the styrofoam. I think this might be a problem because they tell you not to use certain glues and paints on styrofoam. But this truck bed liner says it works on "Boat Decks Styrofoam" (http://www.vortexsprayoncoatings.com/applications.html). It would be nice to see someone test it on a styrofoam cooler and see if doesn't dissolve and if the spray on liner makes it stronger.
Anyone try this?
