looks good, one thing, while you have it open, make sure to seal the drains in the stringers. that's the notches in the bottom of the stringer where they meet the transom. they allow any water that gets in the hull migrate to the bilge. wellcraft did a pretty good job of encapsulating the stringers, but then drilled holes for drains and did not seal the raw wood. that,'s usually where the rot starts.

I think I get what you are saying. Glass the stringer top to bottom at the joint where it meets the transom? I was wondering why they notched like that!

i was refering to the little triangle notch at the bottom of the stringer, where the end meets the transom. there needs to be a way for water to get to the keel from the upper stringers. mine is an 85 abd they just drilled some holes with a hole saw to allow water to pass. all they had to do was take a small dab of resin and coat the exposed raw wood. they did paint it grey, but a dab of resin would have prevented a lot of grief
