Next I'll cut out all of the rotted wood, leaving at least a 3" lip around the edges.

I'll bevel the edges 12:1 and prep the inside of the bottom skin.

I'll install a balsa core with cabosil and then layer 1708 over the whole thing.

I need to score the balsa so that it will conform to the shape of the hull correctly, right?

I did some fiberglass work today(First time), I think it turned out pretty good, I will post some pics tomorrow.
Well done. maybe not balsa. Keep reading grasshopper.

Cheers,
GFS
