Good morning gentlemen, thanks again for all your suggestions with the boat , it has helped very much. I haven't had lots of time yet , but the hull & decks are lofted & cut & ripped some stringers . Anyway, my question.........When joining the ply for hull & decks my plans say to use 1 by 2 stock as a buttblock , however seems a 1 1/2" wide block is hardly sufficient, doesn't leave much wood to screw into ? I have also read of using plywood for the blocks as well. that way I can rip to whatever width I need on my table saw. Still yet other info says to glass the joint without a block at all. Please let me know the best method for my boat, a 12 ft daysailer , it has 3/8 hull & 1/4 deck. Wayne

Cutting a scarf is SO simple and quick and gives such a nice join. Unless there is a reason not to, that would be my recommendation
