Box Stringers
I cut my box stringers back about 8'' and set them aside to reuse later. After I replaced the transom and glassed 2 layers of 1708 over it, I then replaced the box sections and used 6'' biaxle tape to set them in place covering all joints and taping them to the new transom. I then covered them in a couple of layers of 1708. Then I installed another layer of 1708 over everything. (I am using marine epoxy) This is my first build and I am just repeating what I had seen others do before me. This is not the final picture but will give you an idea of how I did mine. You can see where I cut the box. I've seen others make a larger splice. (Check out Shines thread).
What size wave buster "Ocean Master" did you find. I had a friend who owned a 31 footer with a tower; man what a machine!
Good Luck Bill
