As far as the Seacast separating from the liner, I am sure its all in the prep, it says it will not stick to wood, so if you don't get it all out your not going to get a good bond.

Seacraft is all glass except the transom i thought i heard?

I had a friend that had a Formula that he totally redid and used the foam filled stringers that were mentioned and they worked great!!
I had a SeaCraft way back when, it was a 19 Bowrider Mosely hull #455 from way back in the 60's. The stringer/bulkhead grid was solid handlaid glass bonded to the hull. 30 plus years after manufacture it was still intact. It had a plywood transom core and plywood core in the floor. The stringers and hull were solid glass and built like an anvil. I wish I still had that one out back.
