I used 3/4, 1708, 3/4 in between transom cores.  Maybe overkill but it's stout.

For the bow side lam of the transom I think I went with 3 layers of 1708 with 4, 8, 12 overlap (been a long time since I did it)

Looks like that will pull it in nice and flat.  :thumleft:
When you lam the front of the transom shorten the overlaps - maybe 3,6,9".

That's the plan. I went way too far with the initial overlays

whats my best option with the stringers. i saved my old skins but some how one of the side stringer skins got thrown away. also i will have a 8" gap between the transom and the stringers. can i make that up with just fiberglass or will i need to make some sort of mold?

took the clamping system off yesterday. amazing how stout it is. going to fillet the corners then lay 3 layers of 1708 over it tonight. then to figure out the stringers.

Transom looks stout and ready for completion  :thumleft:
As for the stringers, I think the easiest way is a mold.

Show us some pics of what you're talking about and maybe others will have a better idea.  We can see the inner stringers but show us the "outer" you're talking about.

Here's what I was talking about in this pic I accidently threw out that stringer at the edge. What's the best way of making up that gap.


And here's the gaps between the stringers and transom. What's the best way to fiberglass the over that gap

I think I would look at the many rebuilds that have built transom support knees and tied them into the stringer systems.
The builders can comment on their approach and what they might do different on yours.
