Okay. Answer to Rick's questions. I have not used any resins or epoxies as of yet, still grinding.  The resin appears to be polyester  and was already in here.  You can see where the stringers delaminated from the hull.  Looks like whoever "repaired" them dumped the rest of the resin in the bo/om.  I will try to post a pic.

You can see extensive repair to starboard bow. There is also repair about halfway back on starboard. I assume same collision which caused starboard stringer blowout?  Why would core be removed  from next to keel?  Input please I am at a loss.

You can see where core was taken out and not replaced. What was factory?   By the way, cicadas are attracted to grinders.

Haven't processed all you wrote yet but will and will answer. In the mean time more pics to ponder. This boat has clearly been in a significant collision.  See pics of bow and stringer.  Everyone's thoughts would be appreciated.  Should I continue down the Coosa path or switch to plywood?

Where are you referring to? If you are using epoxy, it doesn't harden very fast and can run down and puddle at the bottom of the transom. I hope you plan to install a pvc pipe at the aft and through the drain hole. You will be affecting the lowest point in the boat. Now is the time to do it.

Here is a link to where I explain the thought of the PVC pipe

Here is a link to where I show what is actual problem

Here is a link to Hawgleg's rebuild that shows the PVC pipe installation to keep a drain at the new low point of the boat

RickK, is it pretty normal for there to be lots of resin? Looks like it was just poured in
