A 1990 20ft MacGregor 26 (often referred to as a Mac 1) fiberglass boat typically weighs around 2,500 to 3,000 pounds, depending on the specific model and equipment. This weight includes the hull and basic fittings but may vary with added gear or modifications. Always check the manufacturer’s specifications or consult with a knowledgeable source for the most accurate information.
to calculate the recommended occupancy for any boat under 20ft: length times width divided by 15 L x W / 15 = Maximum occupancy

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.
