   Thanks, 

I will most likely put the wood in first,  another question .  When then floor goes in I am concerened with the area where the floor is so close to the hull on the front two sides , beside the driver s feet and the side of the passenger seat.  When  beginning on the mains I was going to run a 8" tape and leave most of it on the hull and wrap fro their up and then come back and change my overlap but would like suggestions.

	With structural wood stringers like you have gone with, what Pete suggests will work fine.. if you were trying to accomplish structure with glass I would tell you long uninterupted lengths of glass should first be put down the length of the stringers before adding the bulk heads. So = I am not really adding to this thread.. just making sure anyone who reads it later understands the difference..

	Mike, I feel now's the time to get all your wood in place so then everything is glassed in as one "unit".

	Hi, I have almost finished with secondary's Looks ok, but I would like the mains to be perfect, The main question is Is it better to go ahead and put all the wood in before I start wrapping the mains, Like the bulkheads and the standoffs for the motor cradle and the floor support for the rear deck. Or should I wrap the bottoms or work around the whole stinger. I am clueless right now Picture of the ribs and secondary some small bubbling, but after reading one other post I am doing much better. If anyone would like to give me a call I would be more than happy to listen 352-361-8068 Thanks Mike
