Working on a stringer repair and need some advice. The boat has issues the inboard engine stringer up thru the gas tank area. The engine stringer is wet and has dark samples from the very bottom. The end of the gas area that meets the engine stringer is shot. The plan was to replace the gas area with wood and VE and then cut the cap on the engine side stringer, remove the wood and pour Sea Cast. The transom checks fine.The ER has gel coat so the plan was the recoat with gel since I already have it. I was told to drop the VE plan and go with epoxy since the VE will only have a mech. bond and epoxy will have a chem and a mech bond. I am not against going with epoxy so what would I top coat it with to match the rest of the ER or will VE be fine? This is a newer Sea Ray made with VE.
Thanks!!
