What is the best wood to use in the stringers. I used white oak plywood. I was hoping that this would not compress as much when I clamp the motor mounts down.

Void free marine ply would be best. Is your white oak waterproof glued?

white oak is some stout stuff,you probably know this...its water proof and will never absorb water..dont worrie about the glue if its wraped in glass and if its sealed real tight it will most likely never water..a friend of mine made a white oak swim platform that turned out real nice for his boat..
