Hey thanks for the comments .. But I will confess this is definitely a learning curve.. And a big one at that. I installed the center stringer this afternoon. and pulled the bracket from the mold. then went down and tried to weight it.. I would say that is comes in around 160 but i did not trim off excess and install the top.. I have got what i had expected and that was the glass pulled from the mold creating some warping to the inside of the mold. It appears to be all the same all around the bottom is flat and looks god. but the radius corners and forward and aft look awful.. Lots of fairing that has to be addressed. the glass bows inward from the side and the front and back of mold... It looks to be about a 1/4 in in the center on the front and the back. and the same for the sides...If I had t do it again I would use foam and therefor I would not be using much glass and resin.. I think it would be easier to build the bracket... Anybody try it..

okay started back on the transom to fit the bracket.. I know this bracket is pretty ugly now. But it is still not trimmed out. nor faired, Definitly not as purdy as others but hey this aint no beauty contest....Yet.haha. where was i oh yea transom
As you all can see I had som issues with getting my outer skin to adhere to my new inner skin.. and as I looked long and hard at the new bracket and all the effort that went into that I decided to rip the old outer skin off. There were just to many voids and air pockets.. you can see all the circles and well the voids when i pulled the skin... Not to mention the outer skin is just mat glass.. anyway ripped it off and ground down the entire transome. The new glass layup is as follows. 2 layers of 2 oz and two layers of 18oz 90 biaxial.. then the new skin is 2 layers of 1708 biaxial and one layer of 2oz mat for the final outside layer.. ad of coarse a whole lotta sanding and fairing.. I feel much comfortable with this new glass then the old stuff..
