what do i need to know or look out for on a fiber glass hull?

[mistrall]

hi guys, im just wondering what i need to look out for on my boat, it is made of fiber glass, i have taken her out for a few 5-6 mile runs in the harbour at 6 knots and she did seem to take a little water onboard, but not enough to get the builge pump going by any means. she has been de fouled.
i want to take her for a small run out to sea along the coast, i have ship to shore - gps depth guages/fishfinder all running lights are ok, but the horn needs sorting out.
im also abit nervous about using the toilet lol....

as you can tell im new to this.








obviously im going to choose a calm day for the 1st proper offshore test, am i being too nervous do you think?

thanks for any advice - justin.
