19-1 transom rebuild

[Xjbob99]

ive been seaching everywhere! all the builds ive been seeing theyve done the stringers throughout

im debating on ending the stringers where i cut them and just adding knees. my stringers were a little wet back there when i first cut into them but they are dry now. i think it was from someone cutting half the stringer out to route the bilge hose. my stringers are also not de-laminating from the hull either. i just would feel better if the transom was tied into the stringers throughout the hull.

any thoughts on this?

Most of the builds that have added knees did it after extending the stringers back to the transom.  I guess you could make stringer extensions that also served as knees.

whats the best way to extend the stringers back into the transom without having the old skin. somehow i mistaken them as trash and tossed them. is a mold my only option?

Here's a thought.

this is why i love this forum. everyone here is so helpful! that looks like it would work for me on 3 of the stringers. i dont think i can run a piece that far on the stringer skin i tossed with out it sagging like crazy.

Just got in from laying 3 layers of 1708 for the bow side skin. Just made it with the epoxy I had left. Got more coming Friday and hope to have the stringers in by Sunday!

This method looks like it would work exceptionally well, particularly once the deck was on, if you put some knees/gussets in to tie the deck & transom together.

Like so:

well made some more progress on the boat last night. cut the notch out in the transom for the outboard.



then onto figuring out these tricky stringers. i laid out my skins that i cut out and ended up scratching that idea.


i was just going through my phone and seems like i didnt take any pictures of the plywood forms i set up in the boat to pour the foam :-( but heres is a few shots of the outside stringers done. im going to fillet them in and lay 2 layers of 1708 over them.
