My 23 never had wood on the inside. I had to grind the paint off the inside of the hull in order to fiberglass in vertical wood strips to fasten the fir strips to. This picture shows the inside of the hull with the one the the vertical strips fiberglassed in place.

Hi all, last fall I took apart the port wood interior of my M-23 and now have replacement wood from a local sawmill here in VA. They ripped a bunch of ash slats that will replace the rotted and warped slats that I took out (after the hull to deck leak was traced to its source). The question I have is how or if I can easily shape some of the slats. Some of the 9' slats being replaced are pretty straight while other look like a shallow U. I am sure this is due to the curvature of the hull as one proceeds from the floor to the deck. For the curved slats is there a way to shape them a bit before trying to install them (without building a steam chest that is 9' long!)? I may be able to bend them as they go in but then again, I may not. Appreciate any help!
