Thanks to all for the helpful postings, I've read through hundreds of them while completing my first (and probably last) boat build of a 12' Wood Duck hybrid.  Especially Laszlo, you offered lots of great tips.

The build:

Deck: Western Red Cedar strip & Purple Heart accents / Hull: Okoume

Stapleless constructed (not that difficult), Titebond 2, CEC Corp. epoxy and resin, 6 oz. fiberglass cloth, Interlux Schooner varnish and more sand paper than I can possbily imagine..... Took about 5 months working a couple hours a day. 

First mistake, bevelled the wrong side of the port side hull panels. So, I cut a rabbet (?) ( the first layer of Okoume) on the other side to match. The interesting contrast it created, especially on the stern, was a beautiful touch. This also allowed me to cover the groove with an additional layer of narrow fiberglass.
