Still at it...adding ribs between inner and outer stringers. I added one more after this pic, for a total of four under the cockpit floor on 18" centers, with the last one at 12" to bulkhead the fuel fill hoses.

Doubling up the balsa where the full hoop bulkhead will go. Vacuum bagged, should be ready to do the bulkhead when I wake up today.

Thanks for the comments. If I had put it back together the way it was, then I'd probably be done with it. But decided to change things around, add some seats in the cabin and an extra bulhead. All of the horizontal peices will be balsa that I vac-bagged on a table to try to keep the weight down as much as possible in the cuddy. And I think I probably spent two days getting the stringers/ribs level to keep the floor level, got it to within about 1/16th of an inch on a 6 foot straight edge so I figured that was good enough.
Also made a flange all the way around the fuel tank so I dont have to screw the floor gas tank cover into the stringers. I don't want anything getting screwed into the main stringers unless it absolutely has to. Some things I'm sure I went waaay overboard on, especially for a 20 year old boat, but I figure its a good learning experience and this probably won't be the last one I rebuild so why not.
Should be a freaking tank when I'm done with it.

My vacuum bagging rig. Found the kit/directions on www.veneersupplies.com, got the pump on Ebay for 60 bucks. Worked out pretty good, instead of running constantly and having to throttle the pressure, now its like a Ronco, I set it and forget it. As long as I keep the leaks to a minimum it cycled sproradically just like it is supposed to.
