Spruce is lighter albeit more costly. If weight is your primary
concern I would make the stringers, keelson etc of spruce. If weight
is your primary concern SPRUCE is where it is at. You still have a
bunch more wood to add to your boat... I would continue with spruce
if it is available.
I would skip the willow ribs and go with steam bent white oak 5/8
inch by 1/4 inch.
