OC1 using "Vinyl ester, Kevlar,Glass

I'm considering buying a new OC1, I live in AZ where its very hot much of the time and with that being considered what are your thoughts on a canoe built using vinyl ester, Kevlar and fiberglass? I'm going to use the canoe mostly here in lakes and some in Southern Ca.. I want the canoe to be a litter tougher vrs having an ultra light canoe.
Good idea or ?

Thanks

suggested repair of cosmetic white tape where top and bottom of hull meet

I have an early generation Hurricane with white cosmetic tape covering up where the top and bottom of the hull meet. This tape is beginning to come off. What say the oracles of style and resale? Should I attempt to reglue it or just tear it all off?

Best OC2 on the Market?

I am looking at getting an OC2 but can't decide which one is better. I have read some of the older posts on here from people about OC2s but thought I would see if I could get some more reviews/thoughts from people.

Thanks

Tips on gelcoat repair

I was hoping someone could help with tips on repairing gelcoat. Pics below show the repair area.

I found a small crack in gelcoat this evening. When I pressed on the crack it leaked out water. I chipped away a little of gelcoat and found soaked glass underneath. I sanded away some more gelcoat that easily flaked off. It seems like I could sand more gelcoat away on the top of repair area because it does not seem to be well adhered to glass underneath.

I know I need to let the glass dry for at least a week, it is pretty soaked. I am not sure what products to use for the repair though. Was planning on using a few layers of sanding resin or solares to make waterproof again, then finishing with a couple layers of white spray lacquer or enamel.

Am I going in the right direction? Should I just take this to a pro? Does anyone know what a pro might charge for a repair like this? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
