cut between the ruder post and transom make it strate i used i lazer to shoot it than a skill saw. make a cradle mold by taking 4 sheets of plywood stack by 2 and screw then but on the 4' edge, lay your transom centered on on the 4' seem washboard to the top 16' edge, mark, cut, notch every 6' on the flat 3' on the tern for 1.5x1.5 (split 2x4) about 2" longer than the stretch. you can see a pic of the mold frame on one of the pics i posted. unscrew the ply and jest run 2x4 bottom and sides square it up put the 1.5x1.5 in line it with something that will release i used plastic coated Masonite. you can jack the cradle mold up under the boat after you grind taper in the cut. i cut the stringers out in the transom and went 6" past the taper running forward. taper will depend on thickness of existing glass nice to get 2' of taper for every 1/8 thickness. glass scheduled also depends hull thickness but look for 2' laps with 4' to 6' on the cover.
if you have a place to do it its a simple project your looking at 2 weeks to get it ripped apart and the cradle mold built, and the prep grinding (get a real full face mask). 1 week to basic glass, 2 more for stringers, flange and washboards, and 2 more for deck scuppers you might as well do that clean-out tube now also. so your looking at 2 months of work one month of FUBAR.
I spent 9 months on mine jan. to sep. in a tent but i was fishing Sea Scollops on 2 full time boats in NB at the same time.
32" stretch, clean-out, 2 - 50gal fuel tanks, lifting rails, re-do steering, rudder stops, and probably some other stuff i can remember.
if your really going to do it, pm me your number i will talk to you about it. if this is jest BS dont wast my time
