Whee in Canada?

I am in Markham ON (originally Okanogan) and would like to find a way to build a pickle fork bass boat some day. Next year is a 16' Kennedy Marlin re-build/new top.

It can have an effect, but mostly on the cores used within the laminate. Any water that gets trapped in side a laminate or core can freeze and then cause damage, this happens more often in the core (foam, Balsa, plywood).
