I already used 2 lb foam in the one stringer so I will be using 2lb.

This will work but it'll be tricky to get the corners to wrap without some sort of radius to them. Might want to think about that. Wouldn't be a bad plan to pour your foam 2" higher and shape a radius into it. THen just wrap glass over the whole thing and down the sides of the stringers (after grinding them clean for adhesion). This will raise your floor and be easier to wrap with glass. Cleaner end result too. I remember seeing at least one boat done this way on here.

I think that if it was a 72 it would have the 4 stringers like mine. I've read on here that the larger stringers you have began in 73. Is there a hull ID stamped into the transom?
