Before the wood is put in place....I had to continue the stringers to the outer shell of the transom. Once the stern was all dug out I had a two inch void between the two. You can see in the patterns I slotted the stern to slide over the stringers on all the replacement wood.

Here's the result of a good ole squeezing!
You can see the polybond done its job creating a nice solid core between the outer shell and the stern board. zoom in and check it out! Sweeeeet!

Here we go.......sticky fingers. I laid up a nice thick layer around the perimeter of the stern board about twelve inches wide, then a nice thick piece of mat over the entire stern. At this point I dont need the cold beer.......High on styrene! wooohooo
