Had a guy tell me Baja has a new hull design that doesn't use stringers. Is this true or is he misinformed?

Maybe no bulkhead is what he meant?

Yea, no bulkheads in the 405.

I believe also no bulkheads in the 30 and 35.

From www.boattest.com:

And speaking of living, let's head below to the cabin. The first thing that impressed me is how Baja was able to design an interior completely free of bulkheads, so its a straight shot from the stairway all the way up forward to the bow! They did this by putting a type of "stringer" system in the overhead for structural support. Smart.

I also found a few shots from Fastboats and I-boats: You can see the 'stringer' coming down from the cieling about 3" and going across, holding the speakers.

Not sure about the 30 and 35 but I think they were able to accomplish something similar if I remember correctly.

The amount of room this frees up is incredible with no loss of structural rigidity...

That sounds more likely. Was wondering how they would have kept the motors in place.

Thanks
