converting to a strip built

I have the forms left over from my Putz Walrus and I am thinking about using them to build a stripper. The main problem I see are that the forms are about two feet apart. Is this to far for 1/4" strips? I used 3/8" stringers in the skin version and they did not sag until the skin was pulled very tight. It should make a nice quick narrow hard chined boat.
