Epoxy and ? for installing stringers in skeeter bass boat?

[barnicleboy]

Hi everyone I am new here but have been doing a lot of reading at this site.You all seem to know a lot about this kind of thing and I am sorry if this question has been asked a hundred times!

It is a 15' skeeter early 80's with 2 9 ft stringers 6"s high down the center and 2 smaller ones towards the sides.I am thinking of ordering some UScomposites epoxy I just don't know what combo of clothe and mat type to use with it

Any help here will be much appreciated

Typically you just need to replace what was there to start with, changing to epoxy will require slightly less glass though (no mat).

You don't need to use epoxy, either type of resin will work and in the end it won't make much of a difference which is used.

Check the first link in my signature. Has Drawings and info on how to fabricate and install your stringers. I'd recommend. uscomposites 435 Polyester resin 1.5 oz CSM Mat and 1708 biaxial Cloth.
