I am satisfied with how the well has turned out and think I’m ready to move onto my stringers. Going to do some final prep work next week and hopefully have them tack, then fillet and tabbed in by the end of the week.

Main thing to avoid is pressing them against the hull. They should be gapped before puttying them down.

Good copy. Going to try and source some small foam risers to keep the stringers off the bottom skin of the hull

I'm a bit confused by stringers alongside the transom. Not going to be able to tab them in..?

There are 3 drain plugs in this boat. Two are right there. Doing that tabbing in a separate session after I remove the garboard plugs.

Got the tabbing done on the transom and filled the gap. Took a lot of epoxy. Also got both interior sides of stringers glassed in 1708, will do exteriors tomorrow and post photos
