I am wanting plans for a styrofoam layout boat. I built one a few years ago but can't find my plans to build another one. Thanks in advance Billy Bridges
 
Billy it is good to see you come to this forum. Lots of people and info here. Not to discourage you but, if you are going for lighter weight I do not think you would gain much in lighter weight than the kara hummers you already construct in wood. I am guessing you will want to put on fiberglass for durability. The fiberglass and resin will add weight to it. Plus you will still have to add wood in places where screw eyes, transom for motors, etc. But I have not built any foam layout boats based on the hummer design to a true comparison. I remember Danny Webb, Phil Allen, and Jerry Jordan building some foam boats and they were very heavy. Danny and I had a hard time pulling his over levees a couple times because of the weight. I am sure others will join in the conversation and give their opinions, ideas, and designs.
