The carbon and peel ply route would be very expensive. I haven't used peel ply myself, but a trusted friend (who has much more GRP experience than myself said he couldn't get on with it, so that's good enough for me to never use it.
Anyway, more positive thoughts........
maybe build up a shape using PIR foam (from builder's merchants in various thicknesses, so can be cheaper than other foams. make the shape as best you can, (I've glued sheets together using builders 'squirty foam' and cut or use glasspaper to shape (very messy!) Use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose bits. Mix up some polyester resin and paint on with a brush (this is to prevent resin used for lay-up just soaking in). Leave to dry, then use matting and resin to get the shape. It will be lots of work, but certainly possible and less likely to break the bank than using carbon and epoxy resin. There are a few projects on youtube.
