One thing to consider if you glass the boat (and perhaps even if you don't)...round the corners of the bottom of the "boat" with a sanding block, router with round-over bit, or palm sander before you glass it. Then run the glass so it will follow the fuselage contour from sides to bottom and p

This is a controversial subject. I am not sure about the weight, but from the two KRs building experience, I see absolutely no benefit from doing this and can only see potential problems. I think filling the grain of the wood is much easier than introducing pin holes into the equation and then
