In hindsight I'm pretty sure it was just sloppy work so I wouldn't worry with doing that. I used alot of material to do that and probably added 10-20 unnecessary pounds for added strength that really isn't needed. Would be like putting bulletproof glass on your center console.

Ive seen the same on mine, It appears that the roving is used fro the factory stringers, with tons of air pockets too, suprised at the things Ive seen in this hull that is sloppy craftsmanship, Not sure if its from factory or the PO.
The PO rasied the floor by screwing 2" x 10" to the inside of the factory stringers. Gave me a good guild for the rebuild. I think Im might still need to remove the inner liner or cut the rest of the old cuddy flooring out. PO just cut the floor to the cuddy.
Tartuffe,
What resin/ glass combo/ Brand name did you use. Is West systems worth it?
