Mine had the same laminate as described. Glued together at at a return flange along the center line. I also bagged two layers of tape over the seam all the way around (1.5 inch wide and 1.0 inch wide). I spec'ed high modulus beams from Composite Engineering (VanDusen Racing Boats). Beams are glued in. Beams are slightly more than 50% stiffer in bending and torsionl compared to a Flyer. This boat is extremely stiff and its will underweight.
Did I mention that I weight 250 pounds, not even a peep from the boat.
