That was done in the stern as well but I ground it out already. The bonding putty is Grey so I don't think I would confuse it with poly resin. Pretty sure someone has done a bunch of sub par work to this boat. See the paint. It is representative of the rest of the work.
Again, why rebuild the stringers from the inside instead of the outside? I really do not relish the idea of grinding inside the stringers. Also, is it standard to have one layer of biax tabbing the stringers down because that is all that is there. As shown in the Pic the bonding putty unbonded leaving the one layer of biax floating in the air, tabbed to nothing.
My goal with this boat is to make the guts last for another 50 years so my kids can finish it however they want when they want. I can change my goal if this boat isn't worth $300 plus a sheet Coosa. Thy plywood lasted a long time. Your opinions are appreciated. Thanks
