Same here. Appreciate seeing another one going the same way and watching you chisel out your core. Thought it would be a piece of cake after the transom peeled away. When I took out the back section I realized that there was no bond all the way forward. If you look at the earlier pictures, the top of the starboard stringer was rolled and the plywood/putty had failed a long time ago. That was when I realized a needed to rebuild stringers and I am happy I did because they were both cracked at the rigging channel under the console. Hoping to fine tune and get a consistent 1/4" to 1/2" gap. Have a local guy that will shoot Plexus for me. That will be a good day. I'm ordering another 5 gallons of epoxy and cut a lot of cloth last night. Keep the pictures coming.
