John(or any one Who can help)I am replacing stringers in My 18"Kona and am having a hell of a time finding Kiln dried Douglas firin a 2x6 here in Las Vegas.I have purchased two sets of green fir2x6's ,let them setout to dry and both sets have split and warped.
I was wandering if You could suggest a place to find dry doug fir or what Your company uses.
I can find a 1x6 kiln drid clear doug fir.What are Your thoughts on a !x6 stringer in a Vhull .I see sone boats with them.Is a 1x6 stron enough?
Also what are Your thoughts on using Hardwood as stringers,like Red Oak? I have had some people say tah hadr wood is too stiff and would jump right out of the boat.I find that kinda funny,but what do I know..Thanks for any help...Hal
