On my new aluminum hull, I plan on putting in a tamarack floor. The boat has aluminum strings going port to starboard, every 6". my question is, if I screw the plank floor to these aluminum cross stringers, will the boat become too rigid, and thus putting stress on the hull rivets?
I could make the floor so it is independent of the hull, and maintains its place through weight and framing. Which way would be superior? Thanks for your help.
