HI phil I have not glassed my boat sides bottom except I used tissue around the bottom corner "glass won't go around the tight radius and the edge of the ply after it is painted gets chipped and when moisture gets there it runs so I glassed it some people are putting a radius but be careful that you don't go to far as the main longeron there is very structural I would just mix up some micro balloons and fill the depressions and sand it ready for paint it does add a fair bit of weight glassing the lot!
