Again, it is a matter of design rather than construction. And the design you will like is primarily a matter of personal preference. Strippers offer more design freedom, you can make any shape you can imagine where S&G will have chines. S&G tends to be slightly stronger by weight, but this is primarily a matter of the skill of the builder. S&G is quicker to build, but the results are not as pretty. Choose the boat you like best and build it. You will not be disappointed with either. Nick Disclaimer: I sell plans for strippers but that in no way makes me biased toward the vastly superior qualities of strip-built boats :).
