Its dopey question time, again!

[scrumpyjack]

So whats new?
Right I have battled with the free flood holes on my Sheerline type VII and got them finished. I think I have a design for my ballast tank, just need to do some pre fit trials with tank pump(s) and valves etc to see how it performs. So now a dopey question sprang to mind. The Sheerline type VII like a lot of boats comes in two halves, hull and casing, so how have you sub build old timers managed to attach hull to casing simplistically so one get to the guts of the boat as required.
Yes OK i could go for thru boat bolts, bit Heath Robinson so.................
Any advice reccommendation(s) would be appreciated TA

You don't need a whole lot to keep the casing in place, even with the assumption that some floatation foam will be up inside the casing.
