Ok great thank you for all the information. I just got done grinding and sanding more on the transom and I also cut the center stringer out ( main reason was I had my tyvac suit on, respirator, all my ppe and was already full of dust.

So like a dummy was cutting with a saw saw (center stinger) on side at a time and and cut a three inch slot threw the boat, I grinned, sanded, and chiseled, all the, wood out and I was wondering two things,

Should I lay cloth in the v before I put the new center stringer back?
And is it ok to put resin in the voids bellow center stringer

You may need to turn the plywood perpendicular to your stringers .
Stringers look great btw !
