We do but we rockproof uses this material... but their hulls are so well structured supported it won't hurt the material and makes it like ice when we go over rock rapids and logs... They test run their boats from Duncannon to Petersburg into the Lil Juniata... Between Duncannon aka Clarksferry and Newport amd you can see their toughest challenge that rock ledge drop across the river... They actually race them to Petersburg in Huntington County I live in Mifflin across the river from Mifflintown and you ought here Rockproof Company coming up this river lol it's badassery... Their cruising between 50 to 60 mph up the river
I'm a boat builder. Don't know you but I agree with everything you've covered. That being said I'm putting GG on my personal boat to save the 300lbs of poly. I only heard of k5 today.
Thanks, I have a 1983 wooldridge Alaskan 21'. It is built pretty heavy and I am debating this exact thing. Do you think that my boat is built heavy enough to just add the uhmw or would it need reinforcement? also, how does that effect the intake for the inboard jet? does adding 3/4" plastic effect the water flow into the jet intake and need to have modifications made?
K5 is very dense. It is used on many of the jet boats that are running the skinny Susquehanna river in our area.

You probably want to blend in the transition point forward of the intake.
Never 3/4 on any hull. 1/4or 3/8. Uhmw is more durable. This is a sales pitch.
