don't over look preasure treated lumber...get yourself a single 2x8 or 10 and rip it to whatever size you need....it bends nicely just by clamping and will hold screws too.....also look at pl 400 premeum construction adhesive made for pt...it's an all urathane caulking/adhesive made for pt as well..cost is like 5.00 a tube...It'll fill any voids between the wood and hull and totally waterproof...just don't get it on your hands or clothes cause it won't come off.....I've and many boat yards have used this stuff for above/below decks in wet areas...you'll find it in any hardware/lumberyard...sometimes you need to think home building for your boat building needs....it'll save you money and works as good as all the epoxies that cost 5 times as much.
