Just wonder, as expressed before, if it would be too rigid? I guess it all depends on how much rough water you encounter that would flex the boat enough.

IMO, wood core epoxy glass hull are so stiff that the issue of bulkheads creating 'hard spots' isn't very important.
If you're going to give a boat a serious pounding around rocks and surf, wood-strip is not the best choice - get a poly boat.
