Update photos
Long summer of slow progress - but I've gotten the stringers raised and re-filled with 4lbs foam.
I added two Coosa stringers inboard of the factory stringers and raised them to deck height.
Replaced the wet fir center stringer with a 4" PVC half pipe (after running 3 layers of 1708 down the keel to replace what I ground out).
I filleted and re-tabbed the box stringers.
I built and tabbed in four bulkheads - two compartments for fuel tanks (62 gallons each) - one for a fish box behind the aft fuel tank and a bilge.
Dry fitted a keel stringer/knee in the bilge. I'm glassing that now and I'll tab it in this weekend. Lots of sanding, scrubbing and cleanup as I hit the home stretch on the structural stuff.
