In Response To: "1x2 furring"? (Doug S)

: I've found that one of my big costs (near $100) is for WRC for the
: stringers. What are you using (in non-builder-speak, if you
: don't mind) that you're pulling this off for $10?

For our first class built Yost kayak I used western pine sold by Home Depot for the stringers, relatively cheap and has held up just fine. It adds some weight but if cost is an issue it's roughly half the cost of clear WRC, maybe a little less and it is clear.
