Shrek I also have been following that 17' Pacemaker build on THT. He does have a pretty cool fab system for making those hollow stringers. When I saw his stringers I wondered the same thing about putting some type of wood on top of the stringers to attach the sole to, I guess all you depend on then is the glue or putty.

The T-top attaches to the deck so the deck should be attached pretty well to the top of the stringers. Screwed and glued or glassed if practical.
I know of boats where the stringers are shot and they just keep going. Really depends on the vessel and its construction. How safe is it?? Who knows til it goes south.
