If it's a Baker I can speak to the extremely light layup.
Mine had a deck like a credit card (not that that's bad) and yes, core and stringers for strength in a minimalist way.
Lots of room to add a bit of mass for additional strength without being too heavy.
Gonna be a good ride, have fun.

Hey Boomer,
Lots of these boats running in COR Racing on the west coast.
Info here ... http://corboatracing.com/
Great video on this site as well
Ron Hill knows a lot about these boats as well, here's his Baker ... http://www.boatracingfacts.com/forums/s ... t-Turn-Key
Food for thought.
Tom
