I am doing 12” tabs out of ounce and a half chopped mat?
I have 1708 and I believe 1808 to layer.
I have an offshore boat racer/builder providing the instruction and letting me use his shop/lifts/tools
I just do as I am told lol
I have some paint/bodywork experience but not professionally and not much fiberglass ever other than I fixed 70 blisters on a Carver yacht I bought a couple years ago. Redid the whole bottom, thought I had learned my lesson? haha. I can find out order of layers? I also used his recommendations for transom and stringers material and order of process to maintain boat integrity. I will update pictures as I have time.

Just wondering why you had to replace the transom and stringers, or was that just a precaution.
I have abused my Cigarette quite a lot.
I left it in the ice three times during winter and crashed both TRS drives and scoop once on a underwater barrier but hull and transom are still in good condition after 40 years.

Because it was as rotten as a Fountain lol. The boat changed hands 3-4 times in about 24 months because owners realized it was rotten, and I bought it with that knowledge planning on a transom and maybe stringer repair in mind. Ended up transom/stringers/bulkhead etc.,. but the boat was solid in cabin hahaha
Any neglected boat will get wet/rot
