To stiffen the hull along with stringers, Viking glasses transverse beams at the bulkheads to create an egg crate like grid. All the the superstructure from the bow to the cockpit liner is tabbed together to create a one-piece leak proof base. The engines mount on structural beams which distribute loads and further stiffen the hull. Tankage is in molded fiberglass containers contoured to the hull.
