: Would there be any advantages/disadvantages to using a hardwood plank for the
: bottom board in Nick's guideboat? Are there any types that have epoxy
: adhesion issues other than WO? For that matter what other types of
: woods(hard/soft) have people used for stripping?

Normally cedar of one type or another is used for stripping. Using hardwood for trim is possible but adds alot of weight for no increase in strength. The stength isn't in the wood it's in the fiberglass skins.
