I don’t know if this would even be possible for us but, it’s just something different that I found.

What Lamborghini does is they make this composite and then, they just position the material made onto a mold and then they compress it with a matched mold and heat, this process is said to make the material more resistant and lighter although I don’t know if this process would be possible.

This is an article on it if you want to read up on it. If you want me to look into this process a bit more, I can.
The company Carbon Marine is a Canadian boating company that produces carbon fiber boats. They indicate that they use the same methods as F1, supercar and aerospace manufacturing which they indicate is prepreg. That’s not any new information but, on their website, they do indicate that they take free consultations so I don’t know if this is something we want to pursue but, we can make contact and get an expert opinion for our needs.

This article outlines why the company Scout makes its boats using resin infusion.

This video is the CEO explaining why they use infusion which he sort of says vaguely but from what I got from it, he says that it does make the part stronger. From the things I find it doesn’t seem as if many companies actually use carbon fiber in the boating industry.
The article also indicates the company Hinckley Yachts use resin infusion to “ securely bond its carbon and KEVLAR hull to the structural grid” I don’t really know how to interpret that but maybe you do.
This website is on carbon fibre in the F1 industry. It indicates that F1 teams make their main chassis out of around 8 panels which are obtained from molds, they then use around 5 layers of prepreg carbon fiber and cure it in an autoclave. They then say that after the fiber is cured, they fix a honeycomb layer of aluminum onto the outer skin by a sheet of resin so that the panels stick together and they then put one more layer of prepreg and cure it again in an autoclave.
