Both of you guys would be wise to link up with Richard/AA. Unless I am mistaken Red Alert is normally kept in Hudson. It will show you how well one that is over ten years old can hold up.

I followed much of your build. I’m putting in 4 stringers raised one inch over the plan. I also installed 3 strakes. Just about ready for paint and flip.Aripeka Angler wrote: ↑Wed Apr 20, 2022 10:44 pm Hi buddy, I have built a real, actual, non-fantasy XF20. Not one of the recent ones, more of the old school ones from 15 years ago. It’s still rock solid.
You don’t need 4 stringers but it’s a nice feature.
Not sure what glass schedule you used on the hull, I used two layers of 1708 on the outside and one layer of 1708 on the inside of the hull.
Lighter glass might result in hull oil canning with higher horsepower. In that case, 2 extra stringers will help.
I opted for 4 stringers, I honestly think my boat could handle a 150hp motor with my rebuilt 1-1/2” thick transom and 4 stringers…
