Default Choosing Materials

Hello all,

I am gaining steam with getting the rebuild phase of my Seafari going and have some big picture questions. Are there any general rules when deciding which materials to use where?

My plan is to use epoxy resin so I figure CSM is a waste and to just go with straight fabric or woven roving. Any reason to use CSM when using epoxy? I am raising the stringers, redoing the transom from the inside and building a bracket. Some work on the cap around the transom and some hole patching as well. I am thinking 17oz cloth and or 18oz woven roving with maybe something light like 4oz cloth for final layers to stop print through and ease with fairing. Make sense?

With the different directions offered any reason to use a 0/90 over a 45/45 in any particular spots? Or am I overthinking this like I am prone to do and as long as you use enough glass and the proper amount and application of resin it will be good to go?

Thanks
