I would think some very thin wood or even cardboard can make the structure and then just glass over it. I would remove them and replace with a stringer but it is a PITA to do I hear. Also, start keeping all your cottage cheese containers, sour cream containers, anything plastic that you can mix resin in. I have bags full of them so I don't need to reuse the containers that are all messy from using during layup.

Final layers of 1708 over the Coose transom, Stringers, pad core material are in. Also closed in where I cut the foam boxes back with 2 pieces of 1708. This was an intense part of glassing, as there were a lot of things that had to happen and be put into place at once. Luckily I've had some experienced help with most of the lays so far. Without that, this process would be a lot slower.
I also have all of the core material precut and ready, so thats up next. Work up the bow, then back down with the final layer of glass. I pulled the boat out this morning to let it bake in the sun all day to really get hard.

I spent a lot of time reading and thinking about what to do with the transom coosa bolt issue. In the end I have 3/8” glass on either side of the coosa. I am not going to use sleeves I am using 1/2” stainless rod that I am cutting to fit and threading the ends fine thread myself along with brass nylocs. Going to torque 20-30 ftlbs. I have a sheet of 1/2 aluminum I am going to cut plates or big washers out of as well. I’ll be using 4200 on the bolts as well as resin coating the inside of the holes. I think that’s it but I may change my plan a bit because I’m not there yet. I did bolt the transom eyes through to flip the hull and wow, strong. Not really worried at this point

Just add glass where the bolts come thru. 3/8'' is all you need to prevent crush. Skip the alum plate and just use some SS fender washers. Mine is exactly this way and no problems after many, many, years of abuse. Torque to an even amount. 25-30 is good. Just check torque after 20 hrs of operation to give some confirmation of no change.

With the size of the knees I did for added strength, I've been kicking around the idea of fuel tanks on either side of the floor under the splashwell delete. Something like 12 gallon on both sides. Rather than a valve or having to manually switch it, I was going to do a 1" transfer tube from tank to tank at the very back / bottom. I don't really see any issue as the transfer tube will keep both tanks at the same level. Single pickup on one of the tanks. Any thoughts or suggestion are always welcome.

You could do dual tanks. It just complicates things. Need 2 fills and 2 vents. Would need a valve on each tank in case the hose was to fail. Always overdo safety with fuel. Also when filling with fuel it would help to stop the flow between the two. Esp. if you add oil then gas up.
