Yea i know what you mean... I thought long hard about it, trust me .. But i am not cutting the deck out just re- coring so that to me would be a p.i.t.a... And i did not want to cut the top deck cap..... I am going to use epoxy on the transom as this is going to be strickly a mechanical bond.. Rather than chemical... I am going to skin the inside skin with two layers of 1708.. Then 1.5" 20lb high density with reinforce glass fibers.. Like coosa board.. Then layer it out with 1808 and 1708, wrapping the glass around the edges of the stern quarters.. And it will be vacuum bagged

I was planning on using the outer skin at first but i think that the plan is to just wrap stern with new glass.. But that could change.. Planning on a teak veneer so we will see how this will shape up
