This is interesting. I've often wondered about how to leverage boat building ideas when making houses. I've seen photos of wooden counter tops covered with a thin layer of glass fabric and epoxy resin--and then wondered about bath tubs and shower stalls. You could make a bathroom look the inside of a boat hull.
This raises the bar to whole'nother level.
