How many yards of fiberglass?

Just curious if anyone has an idea of how many yards of 1708 I would need for a 22-2 transom, stringers ECT.

Get a 100# roll.  They come in different widths though so choose the one that works best for you.

If it’s 1708 and in new that’s a great price.  Best I did was 375 for 50 yard roll with free shipping.

Another source is Marine Surplus in Bradenton, FL. If you can pick it up you'll save a ton on shipping.

That sounds like a great price. It's the shipping that kills you if you can't pick it up.

Thanks for the advice guys I'm near sarasota so St Pete isnt to far the website i found is 6.50 per yard on a 48 by 50 roll and shipping is 100 dollars so driving to St Pete sounds much cheaper option lol.

If you haven't already, price Marine Surplus behind the SRQ airport.

I was in there today looking for something else and checked on it. 1208, 1708, 1808, 2415, and 3610 are all $2.50 a pound.
