    You don't happen to have any pictures do you?

    Lost all my pics with the great photo bucket fiasco a couple of years back....I suggest doing a couple of test shots on some cardboard 1st to see what you like.

    We decided one BIG stringer would be better than two smaller ones, With the bulkheads and extra supports it should be plenty strong and stiff for a 13' boat. Stringer was glassed out of the boat, sanded cleaned up then glued in place with putty, tomorrow hopefully we are going to be glassing the stringer in the boat.

    I like it. Simple to glass. The shape makes it very strong. It supports the floor better too.

    Find a shape that is the right size or bigger in height. or...Make one from wood... Apply wax or PVA, to it. Glass over it a couple of layers. Then pop it off and cut to desired shape. Install in boat, glass over with several layers. Works like a charm. My V-King has a box stringer.....Every boat I build has a box, or even several boxes stringer system. Much better since a traditional stringer that has a 3/4'' wide top. (not much contact area) The box can have any width you want. Most of mine are 5'' at least. But for a short/narrow boat it could be smaller.

    You can buy premade boxes, foam blocks etc, or you can just make your own, Its definitely easier to glass it out of the boat then tab it in the boat once its ready. Especially if the boat is smaller and does not have much room to work in.

    The stick isnt sitting quite level, and not the exact width. But it can easily be pushed down to touch. So the deck won't be much wider.

    Wait till you see pics of the deck pattern. He did a great job measuring and drawing it out. Looks real good,gonna have plenty of room for a seat box.

    Well I got the floor cut out and it came out pretty damn perfect IMO, all the edges were cut at a 45 degree angle to contore the hull.
    I still have to sand it before glassing but here are some pics. Very happy with the way it came out.
