Hello all, First time boat owner, first time boat restore.
I have been lurking on many different websites reviewing other peoples boat rebuilds and after carefully documenting my transom stringer dimension. I have ran into some areas I have questions about and would like to get some opinions of some more experienced individuals.
The boat I am working on is a 1988 skeeter fish and ski.
The first question I have is regarding the outer fiberglass skin. This boat does not have a flat outer skin. It has two area that stick out off the transom area. When I removed the transom it had a thin fiberglass layer across this area. Do I remove the fiberglass in this area and if so how do I reconstruct this area when putting in the new transom core?
The next question I have is regarding materials, I would prefer to order only a few variants of cloth if possible. I plan on using 12 oz cloth for tabbing in the stringers and transom and 1708 for the inside transom skin and over top of the stringers. Does this seem like a good approach?
Please feel free to critique my approach or make any suggestion as seen fit.
I appreciate all of the help in advance.
