I wanted to make the hull feel more solid, so I used some Great Stuff spray foam.
I held the boat with the nose down and sprayed each runner until I could see it near the foam. Hung it up overnight and it was dry. The hull is alot stiffer when you squeeze on the top and bottom. If needed you can trim it .

Also applied a sheet of fiberglass on the lid. First I sprayed the channels with spray foam, dried, trim, and then reinforced. The canopy has alot less flex.
