    I was hoping to get some advice on the layup for my project. See ( strung out ) and ( Malibu stringer reconstruction ). The two outside stringers I have already done with 2 sheets of 1708. Now I need to move on to the first center stringer. I was thinking of using 4 sheets of the 1708 since the center stringers will have the engine mounted to it. I realize that there is a formula in the book titled " The Elements of Boat Strength" and had I planned better I would have taken the time to read and attempt this method. As it stands right now I am pretty deep in a state of analysis paralysis and would like to finish this project soon so that I can be on the water when summer comes. I am not a college educated engineer, if i was I would most likely not need to rebuild a boat I would just go buy a new one. I am just a guy trying to rebuild his boat. Now am at a point where I am hoping to get some opinions and advice from some of you more experienced builders as this is only my second boat rebuild. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
