have my first boat (15' Galaxy Trihull) project and everywhere I turn I seem to get more confused. I have removed my rotten stringers and transom. My first question is I have began sanding (many filthy hours) to level the old grooves the stringers were in. On the outer edges it looks to be impossible to get it level with the floor since they were so deep. I am reading that I should try and level it best I can for a good tight bond with the new glass. Hope the pics help with my problem.

1. Can I re-use the existing grooves if I sand and clean them as best I can?
2. Do I have to use a compound to lift them off the hull
