Again... there are no stringers in this design... The outsides of the floor are the first part of a Tri-angle.. glassed to the hull... this is the base for the hull design. This is a shallow V Tri-hull, so there really isn't room for stringers. The center is the strength, a deep triangle of 1/4 inch epoxy/glass bonded to the hull and the 1x10's... floor laid over that and epoxied should give you an inter-linked triangular support design... Flotation foam under that bonded to the top deck should be an engineering feat unparallel in boating history.. Right?... Nice design, pour execution... they didn't coat the bottom of the floor, didn't coat the top of the floor, ran screws, bolts, and staples thru top deck without any thought to future rot and water penetration, and were pretty damned sloppy with the keel well fiberglass work that is the key to the whole design... all that said, the floatation is dry? 1976?... run up on the beach enough to cause a small leak in keel?... I don't have to like the things they did, but it works, and gives me a chance to screw it up beyond redemption.
