I used red cedar on my Sea Spirit for the shear clamps, and had to glue it to the side panels in sections due to the curvature of the shearline. Between the thickened epoxy used to glue the shear clamp to the deck and the side panels and after applying a coat of epoxy to all the inside hull surfaces, the shear clamp becomes very strong.
