Thanks, I didn't really communicate the length of the thin spot. I have no roving left for about 3 feet at the corner of the bottom and transom. I only made one small hole but I had to dig through the roving over a long section of the bottom/transom corner to get to good glass. I just thought it would be better to replace roving all along that corner before coring the transom in - maybe overkill! The skin on the transom is thin too so some thickness there wouldn't hurt. The Coosa transom will be tied in nicely so I guess that will carry the load but the glass between the Coosa and the gelcoat is way thin and has no structural glass left; its basically matt.
