The hull was built on a male mold planked with C-Flex fiberglass planks then laid up with mat and woven roving fiberglass. When we turned the hull over we removed the mold and laid up more mat and woven roving on the inside of the hull. Solid vertical floors were built equally spaced below the floor. Top hat stringers were laid up parallel to the water line with about 18 inch spacing from the floor to the gunnel. Our surveyor noted that with the preformed fiberglass rods in the C-flex running longitudinally, along with the top hat stringers, the boat was very stiff fore to aft.
The bulkheads are mahogany plywood and are set against a lateral stringer along the hull surface so that the ply never touches the hull to create a hard spot. The bulkheads are glassed to the hull then through bolted through the glass lay up. The surveyor called it belt and suspenders, but very strong. Much stronger than his boat.
The cabin floors are mahogany ply with a overlay of random formed teak tiles.There are three integral water tanks built into the boat amidships, under the floor, 55 gallons each, plus a stainless steel tank in the engine room that holds 70 gallons, for a total of 165 gallons of water capacity. We have a water maker by Crystal Springs, but have never had to put sea water in it because of our water capacity.
