63/ 13 6 On replacing deck an glass over layer of wood, Basic 3/8 hull outer is solid, I removed deck layer of glass, bases and braces and remnants of layer of exterior plywood vs marine grade I replaced original with 20 plus years ago Original was 2 1/2 inch squares, I went 3x6 bedded in glass resin,, course sanded to outer layer with 1/8 gap between blocks for resin links, Is there better or newer method, The transom @ 1 1/2 or so forward were still solid and doable, Ive lost my large band saw that I ripped blocks square with in 80s so looking for alternative method Thanks jj
