Ok i got acx plywood at lumber yard. They had subflooring glue will that work? If not what is best to use?
I have read put something between hull and stringers. Is that true?
also do i need to glass the underside of floor beforehand?

Suggest you read up on the link below. Not sure what your asking about using subfloor glue for. You CAN use it to bed stringers or laminate two layers of plywood, BUT I would recommend regular PVA wood glue for laminating plywood. For bedding stringers in the boat, I would highly recommend peanut butter, since you can do your layups on it right away... With PL Premium or other polyurethane adhesives, you need to wait several days for it to outgas before you can layup on top.

If you read the link provided you'll find out what Peanut Butter is. Basically it's just Resin thickened to the consistency of Creamy Peanut butter, using Cabosil and Milled Glass fibers.
