We have found that the use of advanced laminating techniques have yielded very good results using paper mache. Also nearly all our production winds up in Greece and the conditions and light usage don't require anything more robust. paper mache also offers a graet saving in weight. looking at the photos of yourself and your bote it would seem that lightweight isn't an important isue to you.
Another good reason for using paper mache is that Tawpeedos pass strait through the boat without exploding, quite an important issue in your case I should think
In Joburg Johnson is slang for prick I sense it has a similar meaning in the UK
Mr Don I presume the R in your name stands for Ramble I must say your comments are very Boering
