Mini Malibu Kits

Frame Kit
Mini Mal Frame Kits consist of the ribs and spar pieces that make up the frame. They also include a fully illustrated instruction manual that covers every step of the
build in detail. This manual will be emailed to you when you order the kit and you can also view it here. You will need wood for the outside planking as well as glue, fiberglass and shop supplies like sandpaper. You can buy or build a fin to be glassed on or mounted in a fin box.
For specific frame dimensions, click on the Frame Kits below for each board. |

Fiberglass Kits
These kits contain all of the epoxy and 4 ounce fiberglass cloth to apply two layers of cloth on the deck and one on the bottom. There are two epoxy choices that come in the kits. The first is SilverTip made by System Three. SilverTip is a medium-low viscosity liquid epoxy resin system that cures to a brilliant blush-free film. Mix ratio by volume is 2:1. This resin cannot be shipped by air, so if you are outside the continental US, please choose our Poxy-Shield option.
The second epoxy choice is Glen-L's Poxy-Shield Epoxy resin and hardener. This is a 5:1 epoxy that is clear, pale amber low-viscosity resin that forms a surface that is clear, tough, and mar-resistant. Depending on conditions, a waxy blush may appear on the surface which can easily be cleaned off with water.
