High Tech vs traditional-Comments?
Thank you for the additional information. Your construction technique on the second boat sounds almost like the Traditional New England rebuilding techniques from the early 20th century by which every other plank was removed. The remain planks were used as ribbands and then new frames were steam bent into place. Once the new frames were in place new floor timbers were constructed. Then working from the rail down and the garboard up the boat was replanked over the new frames. At the end of the planking the old frames were removed and you had a new reframed and planked hull. The problem with this technique in your case would be getting proper epoxy encapsulation.
