You're right Allan, I think all of us that have tried different methods and found one that works well for us want to spread the wealth, and that can sometimes lead to an argument over methods. For me having used an internal to build 4 boats and then switching to an external was eye opening, but for someone who is comfortable with an internal and builds beautiful boats who really cares? Incidentally, my cousin Mike builds with an external, but he doesn't follow the sheer line to split the boat. He swoops his deck designs into the hull and ends up with a boat that has no visible sheer break. I think he might have a tough time getting the forms out if he used an internal frame with this method.
