Abstract
A method of manufacturing a boat hull comprising: forming a foam mold of a predetermined shape and size from one or more pieces of foam; cutting at least one C-channel into said foam running in a longitudinal or a lateral direction within the foam; and coating said foam with at least one layer of reinforcing fiber and resin.

A method of manufacturing a boat hull comprising:
- a. forming a foam mold of a predetermined shape and size from at least a first piece of foam and a second piece of foam, said first piece of foam having a first density and said second piece of foam having a second density which is greater than the first density;
- b. layering the first piece of foam above the second piece of foam;
- and
- c. coating said foam mold with at least one layer of reinforcing fiber and resin securing said first piece of foam and said second piece of foam together.

A method of manufacturing a boat hull comprising:
- a. forming a first foam structure from at least a first piece of foam of a first density and a second piece of foam of a second density wherein the second density is greater than the first density, wherein one face of the first piece of foam is secured to a second face on the second piece of foam, and wherein the first piece of foam is positioned above the second piece of foam;
- b. cutting into said first foam structure one or more components and/or a shape;
- c. forming at least a second foam structure;
- d. adjoining the first foam structure to the at least second foam structure;
- and
- e. coating said adjoined foam structure with at least one layer of reinforcing fiber and resin securing said first piece of foam and said second piece of foam together.
3 more elements
A boat hull comprising:
- a. a foam core, said foam core comprising at least a first piece of foam and a second piece of foam;
- b. at least one alignment member positioned between said first piece of foam and said second piece of foam;
- c. a higher density foam being positioned below a lower density foam within said foam core;
- and
- d. at least one layer of fiber impregnated with resin, said at least one layer of fiber impregnated with resin suitable for covering the foam core.
