Why is it that Some boats are built with 1" stringers and others have the realy thick 2" stringers?
Boats like the daytona and stealth tunnels ,some CP's and others are built with skinny stringers and others have thick stringers.
Are the 1'' stringers sufficient (Strength wise) to mount engines and seats and rigging,to and still lend enough hull support?
I do really like the looks of the skinny stringers vs thick ones.
When looking for stringer wood it is hard to find kiln dried doug fir in the 2x6 (1 1/2"thick),or any that is not overly bowed or twisted. I can find nice dry doug fir and other woods that are 1x6(3/4"thick)and are nice ,straight and not twisted. the 2x6 stringers are 1 3/4"when wraped in 4 layers of glass,and the 1" stringers are 1" when wraped in its 4 layers of glass.
Just wondering if Icould use the 1" stringers instead of the 2"......Hal
