Yes, the entire tongue-and-groove is planed off.
Here are photos summarizing the procedure.
Like everything else in a build, consider the idea and modify it as needed.
Use or don't use a tongue-and groove, change the dimensions, etc.

Jim-
Thanks for those pics.

Can you explain your building sequence using these thicker 'joining cleats'?

The 'cleats' are the first strips added to the forms?
How is the next (thinner, normal-thickness) strip joined to the cleat? (I use staples which couldn't bridge the thickness difference...)
Where does the sanding and glassing come in your sequence?

I've been using a 'traditional' (if one can use that word with epoxy-strip construction now!) sequence:
Strip hull and deck
Sand and glass exteriors
Sand and glass interiors
Tape hull and deck together
Glass interior seam
Glass exterior seam

I'm not sure how I'd incorporate your idea into that sequence.
Thanks.
