<<It might make sense to include a layer of thin veneer in an infusion layup between layers of glass>>
<<What about including sheet plastic flooring with wood print in the infusion ?>>

  I would be wary of putting a wood veneer or wood-look plastic in the infusion.

    - I'm not sure you could get epoxy to flow properly in order to completely cover/saturate both the inside and outside surfaces of the veneer or plastic.

    - Even if this flow could be accomplished, one would have to make sure the tensile and shear strength of the epoxy/veneer bond were strong enough.

  The shear and tensile strength would be less of an issue if the veneer were outside the glass, but then we're back to making sure the glass is properly saturated behind a surface we can't see through.

  It would probably be easier to put a wood-look plastic on top of the finished product.  Some of the laminates now are nearly indistinguishable until you get very close, plus they'll never rot, they weigh just about nothing, and they're a lot less expensive than wood.

The HP cruising range has sideways pivoting steering wheel allowing inside/outside position at helm. 

What about including sheet plastic flooring with wood print in the infusion ? Are the plastics compatible with the infusion ? There is a weight cost.

What about velcro to the walls like a duvet during cold times in the rooms that need it ?

Infusion allows embedding all electrical wiring, LED strips and tubing in the walls. The rounded corners of the hulls seem to invite infusing a tube fitting the curvature in the four corners along the full length of the hulls that can be used as ventilation shafts, additional wiring and tubing ...
