How.is this project coming along? Where did you get the innegra basalt from? Any idea on where you are at with weight?

Basalt/innegra prospector 17,5' built
- Thread starter David A
- Start date
I completed the prospector 17,5 last year. I came at 65 lbs with the third seat, knee pads and flotation bags. I was aiming for a similar weight than the Nova Craft prospector. This winter I finished a BI prospector 14 (same shape as the Swift prospector 14) at 40lbs (including removable yoke, flotation bag and knee pads and kevlar prospector 14 at 29,5 lbs. I didn't take the take to fully complete the current thread, I will probably do if I had some spare time.
For material, I buy all my stuff from Les équipements chimiques Citadel, located in Quebec. A 6 gallons epoxy kit is 400$+tx. I payed 300$ of shipping for the material for my two prospector 14, and even with the high shipping cost, it was my cheapest option.
I can get the epoxy locally, and that will save money in shipping, but where did you get the basalt innegra from?
I get everything form Citadel. They have Basalt/Innegra, kevlar, carbon... You might have better prices at Composite Canada.
