: Do you think it will be more or less
: durable then a traditional strip job.

It should be less impact resistant than a fiberglass stripper , but repairs with only wood should be a snap. However, only time will tell.
My own experience with 7 fiberglass strippers has shown that trying to fix a damaged fiberglass / wood hull is a pain.

I paddle lakes, and have always been very careful at put-in / take-out with all my kayaks, especially the strippers.
Overall, I expect to get many years of use from this little kayak. And like I said, any repairs should be easy work.

Here's a pic of the lightweight cross sections I glued into the hull. These were added for a bit of torsional rigidity, and to hold the hull shape
before and during attaching of the deck. They also add additional support for the deck.... Not really necessary, just a bit of SOF redundancy :)
