I am removing EVERY speck of rotted wood from this boat. And Removing water logged foam.
The Transom seems solid, the middle 6' of the center stringers were rotten, I have started on the two center stringers and will do the two outboard stringers next.
My First Question is; I want to use one continous piece of lumber for the stringer, they are 14' long, my intention was to plane a 2x10 to 1" thickness, waterproof after cutting to fit, I have left about 1 inch of the original fiberglass channel sticking up out of the floor and have cleaned it out (still have more sanding/grinding to do), will clean it up one last time with acetone prior to my plan of using epoxy/sawdust peanut butter to glue it in the channel, then I was going to dress up the fillet, then proceed to glass in three layers with 2" overlaps up the sides.
Is this a sound plan?
What is my best option for a 14' stringer as far as wood goes?
