I added several deck beams, and stripped the deck of fir and redwood. I also added watertight bulkheads with access ports, and no hatches. It is a heavy boat which was the majority of Chris's objection. The comment was something to the effect of "why add the weight?". In all fairness Chris is right from his point of view which I assume is that plywood looks as good. I have a vey unique boat, and some practice stripping a pattern, which is exactly what I wanted out of it. And I certainly am not bent out of shape at the comment. I remember it every time I huff the boat to the water :)
