: Well you're going to need additional frames to make a strip deck on
: it. The bulkheads are way too far apart to support the strips
: while it's being built. Once stripped and glassed though the
: deck will likely be considerably stronger than the ply version
: so no deck beams will be required.

: Coamings should be fine, though they are added after it's stripped
: so unless the curves are the same they might not fit.

Bill, yes I realize I will have to make the deck frames. I have already started making plans for the frames. I'm using the bulkheads as a guide for the heigth they need to be.
