FIRST - This is my FIRST project like this. Lots of guidance from folks here and elsewhere, but there ya go.
I cut a SIX inch drainage pipe in half. First, I ran 3 layers of 1708 down the keel after grinding out all of the old tabbing and cleaning up the glass there. I ran it wide enough to make sure the pipe and the fillet would fall inside of it and that the glass over there pipe when I glassed it in would make contact with it.
I scuffed the pipe, shaped it a little up front to get it to lay down nice and laid it on a bed of cab thickened epoxy along its edges. I then filleted the running edges with thickened cab.
I ran three layers of 1708 over the top of the pipe.
As to other keel support/transverse support etc, I'm sure others on here have more experience than I do.
I added bulkheads between the stringers and ran low transverse supports under my fuel tank beds that were filleted and tabbed in with 1700.

Nice work that looks great. Thanks for the information.
