Mark-

The 20 SeaCraft is a 2 piece boat. The hull and stringers are 1 and the inner linner which has the deck cap and deck built in are 2. The innerliner is set onto the hull stringers and then screwed together at the rubrail part and bonded together between the stringers and under deck.

I took a skill saw to the inner liner. I cut a straight line 5 inches below the top of the deck cap and went all the way around the boat. I then discarded everything below the 5 inches. This left me the deck cap section.

I will glass the deck cap to the hullon the inside and I have added under deck cap stringers to stiffen it up, to the point it can be waled on. about a stringer every 3 feet and coring material inbetween.

When finished I will have turned a 2 piece boat into a 3 piece boat as I will be adding a new single layer deck that will sit on top of the new stringers and attach to the inner hull sides.

If I can clear anything else up please ask. I am currently neck deep in the project and am preparing to put the composie deck on.
