“I kinda doubt that. I’ve seen some pretty nice fiberglass boats made in a garage, and they were far stronger that that golf cart body.”

Made in 44 hours ... I really doubt that.

Also the ‘golf cart body’ is carbon fiber plastic. How do you know that the fiberglass boats are far stronger?

Carbon fiber is super strong in relation to weight, but it wouldn’t be as strong as a fiberglass body.

Both carbon fiber and fiberglass can be hand laid in the same manner. The carbon fiber will be lighter and more expensive, but it won’t handle impact as well.

Graphite fishing rods are light and quite strong, but they can’t take a beating like fiberglass can, and when they break they shatter.
