[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 158626, member: 1523"] Have you considered a rib and stringer configuration? make the ribs out of 2x4's or 2x6's stood on end and cut to match the hull every 18", then notched for 2x2 stringers every 12-16" (keel and at least two others on each side). Leave a drainage trail down each side of the keel board then screw everything together in the boat. Then pull it out and give the whole wooden structure a coat of epoxy or wood sealer before gluing it back into the hull with a bunch of weifght to make sure it sticks well. With 18" OC you could get away with 1/2" plywood as well. A single 2x10 doesn't give you much torsional resistance vs. a web of stringers and ribs. Look at the glass boats and how they are constructed. Jamie [/QUOTE]
