Couple things I have built 4 boats so I am a rank amateur compared to some of these guys and these are just my own personal opinions so proceed at your own risk.
I am building a boat out of 3mm or 1/8 laun I HATE IT it is hard to keep your seams straight waves out of flat section and the kicker is I don't think it is that much lighter than a boat built out of 4mm 3/16.
With 3mm you have to glass both sides cloth and epoxy or glass and cloth the outside tape seams on inside and then about five coats of epoxy saturation on the inside.
With 4 mm I can glass outside tape inside then run a couple coats of epoxy are just paint it takes care of oil canning easier to build stronger
and I bet there won't be five lbs difference in the hulls.
