After building and using a wood composite boat, I agree it is superior to glass in many ways. The main advantage of polyester glass over wood, is that it is cheaper. Wood epoxy is a lot more like carbon epoxy than glass polyester.

I pulled a similar trapeze hook stunt a couple of weeks ago. I meant to jump off and miss the boat. Instead the hook caught the deck. Result scrapped paint and no damage to the hull. This was a prepreg carbon Marstrom A.

I suspect, that you could build a monocoque wood/epoxy boat that would match carbon by cold/vacuum molding wood veneer over a plug. By investing in a bag type plug** and using carbon and kevlar reinforcement it could be a case of prepreg carbon trying to match you.



**Bag type plug - 1 version is a silicone rubber bag filled with .5mm steel spheres. The bag is molded to the shape you want and then a vacuum is pulled on the inside of the bag. The bag becomes very rigid. During molding the bags sticks out through what will become the access port. When you are finished, release the vacuum, pour out the spheres, and then pull out the bag leaving only the mystery of "how did they do that".
