Thanks for the reply's I have all the rotten wood out and sanded all the glass. When we cut old wood out I left about 2 inches of each stringer glass so the new ones would sit and stand there while we glass it in. In plan on coating each new piece in West 105 at least 2 coats and would it advisable to put some adhesive on the bottom of the new wood or not? The factory build had just a single layer of 24 oz woven to hold the stringer and in spots the was none at all for 2 feet or so just bare wood. This weekend found the transom is shot we all ready completely got the old wet wood out and I ordered 12 gallons of Seacast today for it
