double hull wth rot!

Thank you very much for your input. I know a survey will be needed. As far as
the plywood planking, I had seen some nice smaller craft built this way and
thought it might provide an economic solution that would be sound. Apparently
not by theopinions I've gotten. I know absolutely nothing of the science or
engineering of naval design nor the concepts of loads and stresses of
materials, but I have owned and kept afloat wooden boats for 30 years. Ive just
never restored one. Thanks for your input.

Just as a thought: having restored several old wooden boats I wouldn't
take a double-planked boat as the first project. Of course it is possible
to start the learning curve there but I'd say that even a simple carvel
planked boat having exessive rot in the planking can give you hard times.
Double planking is more than double the trouble.
