Hi everyone this is my first post ever on any site but im in need of some help. I took the cap off of my boat i got back in December and the deck and stringers were completely rotted out so now its time to fix them. How do i get in exact measurement of the stringers so when i put the cap back on it fits correctly? Also i had to cut my cap in half because its just me working on it, my thoughts are that i can just fiberglass it back together. Is this ok to do?
