I am thinking of reinforcing my boat hull with an extra 3-4 oz of fiberglass mat. Will this cause a problem later on or just add to the value of a nice stout boat hull.

The hull is sound. I will probably just put some ribs every few feet or so, maybe some plywood to run down from gunnel to deck. I also wanted to put some sort of metal rub rail on the side of the boat. Is there a way to waterproof the cap on the boat so water doesnt splash up under. As you can see right now the only thing holding this cap on is rusted screws. Maybe add some aluminum rivets too?

I just thought that beefing it up would ride better in the rough water.
