Jump up and down on the deck, and if you go through it's probably a light lay up, if you only crack it good, its a medium lay up, and if nothing happens its a hard lay up  ;D

I don't know about your daytona Erik but on my old caribbean you could really tell by looking where they joined the two pieces of the hull. Mine was pretty damn thick. You could jump up and down on the deck and have nothing happen. In fact big ass Jessie fell on it and nothing happened. You know Jessie and Keegan right?

I don't really know what I'm talking about with fiberglass so I guess I'm more or less talking out of my ass. Sean should be able to tell you though, him and his dad are pretty good with the glass shit...

i am pretty sure my daytona is a light lay up, i won't even let my wife walk on it (125lbs), there is alot of flex in the deck and before it was painted we could see "light" through the hull, and when waxing you can watch the deck move
