If I remember correctly the grid system you talk about was made in a mold then tabbed to the boats hull. That explains why it has gel coat covering it. That was the first coat in the mold before the lay up. I remember reading about the grid system and how Carl was the first to use this in a boat and think today there is still a ton of grids use in boats manufactured today! What an inventor. He was a smart smart man...

I always assumed the wood was put there to mock up the location for the glass. If I'm correct, there would be no feasbale way to remove them once the glass was in. I staired at that for while asking myself the same questions.

My 1962 Bertram 25 had a gelcoated fiberglass stringer grid.

Not sure if Seacraft was earlier or not.
