Without spending an obscene amount of money for an oven is it possible to create one large enough for like a 16’ boat hull with high temps ranging 250-300 f?

If so what kind of things do I need? This area is not something I’m intimately familiar with.

I don't think the Omega's are that bad, their instructions aren't the easiest to understand but they're easy enough to figure out. They are also just very good controllers, mine holds my oven to within 0.2 of a degree all day long, and has very good control of the ramp rates. 

The Chinese controller I have used was terrible, sure it was as easy as pushing the up and down button to select the temp you want, but not only did it not have programmable ramp rates, it would also fluctuate the temperature around 1 degree above or below the target temp. For pre-preg, that's enough to ruin a part or cause a load of post work. I wouldn't place as much weight on ease-of-use as I would quality of control, once you learn how to use the thing you'll never forget.

Agreed, I just had a lot of trouble getting my head around the programming, old brain I guess :-) If there had been some how to videos on YouTube it would have saved me a lot of grief :-) Now that I can program it it is, as you say, very accurate.
