I have decided to build a box beam type stronge back for my Guillemot.Three things I would like to know are: 1 how long should the beam be.2 how do I attach the end forms to a box beam.3 is there any reason why Icould'nt fill the gap inthe center of the beam with plywood to make it solid all the way through.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE AND HAPPY NEW TO ALL J.D.
