there have been boats built without screws. Screws are not really required when you use epoxy however IMHO screws are good insurance just incase you didnt mix the epoxy correctly, or something shifted before the epoxy set up and you moved it back into place, or you didnt use quite enough epoxy, etc, etc. BUT with all that said screws are not required when you use epoxy.

Glen-L wrote about this in one of their web letters but I couldnt find it. It basicly said what I said.
