The engine beds, floor timbers, stringers, sheer clamps, and deck framing are all bronze through-bolted Douglas fir. All the structural elements behind the cedar ceiling and under the cockpit decks and lazarette are all preserved with traditional red lead paint before assembly.

The cockpit framing supports conduit for the steering cables, electrical wires, bilge pump hose, and fuel lines. This allows for easy additions and replacements. The wet exhaust system is fiberglass where it passes under the cockpit. The fiberglass muffler assembly is located in the lazarette.
