Still have to remember that the wood on a stripper kayak is mostly just a core for the fiberglass skins. It's not structural in the sense it would be in a boat built only in wood. The idea is to make a seamless core, it's not required to have the ultimate of strength like a conventional wood scarf would need, the scarf is used mostly to make the joint disappear visually.

You are definitely over thinking this.
