Boats can be made of wood, fiberglass, metal or a combination thereof.

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.
I'm not certain about the Sears 17' boat,however my dad owned a 1968 Sears 15' fiberglass boat,and it was made by a company called Arkansas Traveler.I've been told Arkansas Traveler is out of bussiness,
Fiberglass is actually very flammable.
Depends on what the oar is for. Mostly made of wood. Sometimes plastic. Fiberglass. Titanium. Really depends on the boat and the quality.
who made the first aluminium boat
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.
Not necessarily. The amount of water displaced by a boat depends on its weight and design, not just the material it's made from. A heavier metal boat can displace more water than a lighter fiberglass boat, but if the fiberglass boat is larger or designed to carry more weight, it could displace more water. Ultimately, displacement is determined by the volume of water pushed aside, which is influenced by the boat's overall weight and shape rather than material alone.
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.
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.
You can remove dried barnacles from a fiberglass boat using a stainless steel scrubber or a pressure washer for large barnacles.
