    I agree. I helped a buddy make a S&G boat and it was a pain. Drilling, wiring, fiddling to get the planks to meet along the entire length of every chine was time consuming enough. Later there was the sanding down of what seemed to be rock-hard epoxy fillets with the dust and risk to lungs. Put me off that method of construction for good. Also it is a lot harder to fit bulkheads inside an existing hull than it is to bend planks around a bulkhead.
