Restoration Questions and hopefully some help

sounds familiar.

Exactly where we were three weeks back, except your stringer configuration is a little different. We glassed the stringers inside and out, rebuilt the stringers to the transom, filled them with closed-cell foam, then topped them with high density perm-alloy(sp?) then glassed that over.

Good clean work db.

thanks-  i'm still a few steps behind you and seem to have very little free time lately.  Getting the foam leveled out was a lot of work, still not perfect but it's close enough, rounded the edges & was going to cap them with bi dir 1708, then a couple layers of uni 13 oz, then another 1708?
I also tabbed the inside of the stringers to the hull, that alone really stiffened them up & should keep them from separating.
