Oh right. About the runners...have you ever built a house floor? Span ratings of 3/4 ply are typically 16"...you can go up to 2', but runners are just needed opposite floor supports.. I don't have the plans for that great rig, but floor spans are needed where people will walk. Forgive me if I a...

Pretty sure you benefit with the rubrail. Most of the ISO and class rule crap out there would require something special at both the intersections of the horizontal hull/deck and the vertical.

Just realize water goes through a pinhole and if you want to remove it with a bilge pump; you have to make a place for it to flow and collect. My two hulls have no pump in the back, but I expect I might need one someday; so I built a well if I can't keep em dry.

Not sure how water can move from the higjer section to the lower...no reason to gutter if u don't have flow
