Assuming you are talking about a fiberglass boat (not a wood strip).

Buy Charlie Walbridges boat building book. You can get a copy at JR Sweet (540.468.2222).

Also, Angst Squirt boats runs a forum. Good place to chat with people who have built boats.

Finally, if you pick up the last issue of AWA journal, Charlie Walbridge wrote an article summarizing fiberglass boat building.
