She came out great! I'm thinking the Zuke 140 as well.

The '71 Seafari has the 4 straight stringers. My plan is to raise them using 2"x3" vinyl gutters from home Depot. Benefit will be the raised deck, but also rigging tubes. The gutters will be glued to the tops of the existing stringers and then glassed over. I am confident it will give plenty of support. Your idea of the Coosa strips just gave me thought. I could glue strips along the hull sides. The edges of the new deck can sit on top of the strips, glued in place for extra support. Still glassed too. That should make the connection super strong.
