You got my query right. I've been developing the lines from the Ellis boat in Gardner's "Building Classic Small Craft", and the lines for the 5 planks per side are included. They are not equally spaced, and a "pure" SOF conversion would use 4 stringers per side. So I guess the most fundamental question may be: is there a good reason not to replicate as closely as possible?
