Stringer help from the pros please.

Was going to enlarge a drawer and ran into this.

Screwed myself. I was wondering if I cut the the top down flush to my cutout and glassed it back in if I would be compromising the integrety of the hull. It is about 24 wide. 3 inches on the right that have to be trimmed down. I cant see it being too big a deal but I am not even close to a pro. I really don't want to glass this lower section back in. Thanks.

I would mod your drawer before I cut into my stringer .

YD.

Ayuh,... I'd glass the cut-out, back in, 'n call it an inexpensive lesson in hull construction...
Find someplace else for the drawer...

Gotta agree either resize the drawer or relocate.

I see a Thomas Betts box, are you an electrician?

What if you cleaned up that area inside a bit. Threw some carpet down or whatever. And instead of a drawer, did something like this...
