You should be fine with an internal strongback - I built Bjorn's MicroIsfjord for my daughter a couple of years ago, with an internal strongback, and had no problems.

I did spend a bit of time working out the exact vertical placement of the strongback, to get it to fit into such a small kayak, and had to place some of the spacers upside down.

There are some photos here, if you're interested: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/jbmerv/slideshow/Kayak/Building%20the%20mini%20ginny
