A quick search reveals that there are pultruded box sections out
there, at least for bridges. A number of companies offer to make
custom beams. I haven't found prices or specs on off-the-shelf models,
but they must exist.

then you could take those requirments and shop for a
poltrudedfiberglass I Beam that fi these requirements. It should save

a small trimaran using pultruded I beam which made a lot of sense to me
