I would cut the cap on the stern at the transistions.
Too tired to comment more.

Cut lines look good. Maybe cut the sides on the transitions as Dan said. When you get that cut and out of the way you will need to cu the stringers back and that will be a huge tell on what they are like.

Cut on purple I'd say, not red unless you have a problem with the purple being too little.
Inside the transistions. Easier to fix. Lots.

Re: Sea Ray 245 Cuddy Fish (1983)
Fallguy, do you mean inside the corner and over the side? Or inside the corner and over the back? It's probably clear to anyone else
I appreciate the help. For the glass inside, I'm assuming using the biax 12 or 17 ounce without the mat. Which one and how many layers would you suggest? Need to see what's there first?
Thanks again!
Edit: Looking at the tutorial pics It seems the cut goes over the top and back, not the side. So I think I found the answer.

Nothing on the side on top if you can cut the insides; they are easier to repair. So, up the corner and over the back at the inside corner of the transistion.

Gonna have to put a stretcher across the hull. Probably give yourself ? 5'.
Re: Sea Ray 245 Cuddy Fish (1983)
FG, thanks for the clarification. I agree that would be easier to repair. If it gives me room to work it should be fine.
By stretcher and 5', you mean a board (or something) stretching from port to starboard side on top of the cap to hold it all in alignment? And the 5' is the distance from the transom forward for the location or an amount that gives me enough room to work?

If you can't fit the ply in this way; you just cut more relief in the back is all.
