You can clean fecal stains from a fiberglass both by using hot water and dish washing liquid. Let the stained area soak in the soapy water for awhile before wiping it down.
Using muriatic acid on a fiberglass boat is not recommended as it can damage the surface. It's best to use a cleaner specifically designed for fiberglass to remove paint stains. Test a small, inconspicuous area first before proceeding with the entire stain.
You can remove dried barnacles from a fiberglass boat using a stainless steel scrubber or a pressure washer for large barnacles.
To clean algae from a fiberglass boat hull, use a marine-specific algae remover or a mild solution of water and white vinegar. A soft-bristle brush or sponge can effectively scrub the surface without damaging the fiberglass. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after cleaning to remove any residue. For stubborn stains, consider using a fiberglass cleaner or a non-abrasive boat soap.
Fiberglass is actually very flammable.
I would think a fiberglass boat is better than a wooden boat because a wooden one can rot and would be hevy to move weres the fiberglass boat wont rot and is light so would be easy to move.
To re-fiberglass a boat, first, remove any damaged fiberglass and clean the area thoroughly. Then, apply a layer of fiberglass cloth over the affected area, ensuring it overlaps the edges for better adhesion. Mix and apply the resin according to the manufacturer's instructions, saturating the cloth and allowing it to cure. Once cured, sand the surface smooth and apply additional layers as needed for strength and finish.
A sponge and some fiberglass sealers works the best on a fiberglass boat. There are other fiberglass cleaning material available depending on what your particular need is. For just basic cleaning, I would go with the sponge and fiberglass sealer.
A boat floats by keeping water outside, regardless of any material

A fiberglass boat mold is typically made by creating a positive model of the boat, often from wood or foam, which is then coated with a release agent. Next, layers of fiberglass cloth are applied to the model, saturated with resin to form a hard shell. Once cured, the mold is carefully removed from the model, and additional finishing touches may be applied to ensure a smooth surface for future boat production. This process allows for the precise replication of the boat's shape and design in fiberglass.
Vietnam War PBR's were built of fiberglass; they worked fine. That's the boat in the film Apocalypse Now.
It would depend on the construction of the craft, but as a general rule, the fiberglass boat will be heavier.
