: I'm waiting on funds to pick up the rest of the lumber for the
: stringers, and the MDO plywood for the formers. While I'm
: waiting... a 6' length of 1"x2" select pine at Lowes
: was all of $3. At that price, and since I'm twiddling my thumbs
: anyhow, I opted to extend the gunwales out another 1-1/2'.
: That'll give me a total length of 16'... more than enough room
: to play with, should I need it. The keel's only 14-1/2' long,
: but I figure the difference will be made up in the stem plates.

: I shouldn't run into this problem with the stringers. Since they're
: only .75" wide, the length of the scarf joint will be
: 9". 8' + 8' - 9" = 15' 3". More than enough
: length.

If you're putting the scarfs on the ends of the boat, you can make them pretty much whatever length you want. Not sure why you're using 6' boards, they also sell these in 8' to 12' in most places.
