Re: butt joint?
this seems like a joint where you would want the best glue, depending
on what you are joining. the best glue would likely be epoxy. the
ones i did were fitted closely at the joint with a large overlapping
butt piece. epoxy applied and then all screwed down with 3 rows of
drywall screws on both sides of the jointline. when dry the screws
can come out or be ground off on the outside. glasscloth/epoxy over
the joint on the outside. bill

The boats designed by the UN to be built in developing
counties have butt joints with a wood backing strip.

While the beveled and epoxy glued joint is stronger

There was a guy who lived not far from me and built boats 14'to 24'
at a rate of perhaps 20 or more per year. All were build with glued
and nailed butt straps. The nails in his latter boats were
galvinizied roof nails. many of these boats survive still, some 25
years old. some are painted real nice and some are hadly painted at
all. These boats are passed from one person to another. I have never
seen one in a dumpster. So dont let people fool you into thinking
that the old simple ways are not as good as the fancy new ways. Jake

Sure
I used weldwood glue on the butt joints of my first large boat a 26 footer.
When I looked at the joints earlier in the year in Nome they still were
good after 19 years.

Can a butt joint be made without the use of epoxy? If one where to
glue and screw it together would that work?

It would work, butt (pun intended) be best suited for a temporary
boat, like a TIMS unit. The first one I made used no glues at all.
Just screws and bedding the parts with cheap, buck a tube, silicone
caulking. No leaks and still floating after two weeks.
