Thanks Garfy

The central ones are 550 apart and 240 either side of the 65mm keelson , I was thinking of a small bead of 5mm bead of sikaflex down their centres and left to go of to eliminate any hard spots then...

I bought the study plans for the Flareline 20 and it does appear to be the same hull but they are only sketches and don't show the framing . Although she had a cabin and wheelhouse which basically...

Id like the stringers to be parallel to the waterline when the boats at rest as I intend fitting a fuel tank between the 2 central stringers and theres not much room for adjustment as the tank will...
