In Response To: Re: Strip: Schedule 40 drain pipe as strongback (Paul G Jacobson)

: First basic thought about an internal strongback should be:
: "How the heck do I get this out of the completed boat"
: In many cases the plan calls for cutting it to pieces, which can
: be pulled out of the cockpit. Cutting a 2x4 aluminum extrusion
: will try your patience, and cost a lot.

I'm a bit new to this, but I've not come across a need for removing the strongback from a complete boat. Every book, post and topic I've read says it's removed well before you properly join the hull and deck, which have to be separated anyway to glass the interior - or am I missing something?

Cheers, Ian
