What do you guys think is the fastest that a wooden boat can hold out at?

I'm guessing somewhere ~55mph.

Also, does anyone have any good guides on working with fiberglass?

Doing a quick search the fastest ratings i could find for wooden boats were for 25-35 mph. HOLD OUT AT could maybe mean 55 . . . just like the bottle says take 1-2 pain relievers and one takes 3 or 4.

Upon further investigation: &T for boat geeks . . . http://www.boatdesign.net/

depends on thickness of the wood and the method of joining them together i think

this wooden boat did 178mph in the 1950's
