Good thinking. Thats similar to how they scribe the back of cabinets to fit them to an unplumb irregular shape wall.
Getting close to assembly time.

Started fiber glassing.  Put some reinforcements where I will be sanding the hook out of the hull and put one layer over the transom and then a couple layers over the out-drive hole. Put a piece of tin over the hole to hold the glass to the right shape. And the white is not air it is a little of the old filler/ PB that was on the transom

I think this has become an addiction.

Got all the stringers cut out of wood and final fit. Also got the transom cut fit and installed. I will hopefully get a few of the back stringers bedded down tomorrow.

Got 80% of the stringers bedded and glassed. Used up about 5 gals of resin so far. Prob go pick up another bucket today or tomorrow. Hoping to be done with stringers this weekend and get the boat flipped and start on the bottom repairs and Painting.

Thanks Joe and Jeff for the help. Got all the stringers done and the motor mounts. Should be ready to flip next weekend and start on the bottom.

Are you planning to fill those spaces with foam?

I have been going back and forth for a few months debating on whether or no to fill the hull with pour in Foam. Still have not decided

that structure is almost identical to the structure under the floor of a 1998 20ft Celebrity I done last year, and the it too had a 50 gallon tank in the same location.  I poured the foam in all the boxes, and under the tank, I'm not trying to persuade you toward the foam, but I will tell you why I like to use it.  I like the rigidity it adds to the hull alright, but what is most noticeable is the quietness it adds to the ride.  Some of the boxes on the Celebrity were 10" depth toward the keel, so I poured most of the foam in there before I put the floor down, that way I knew all the voids were completely full.

I'll concur with Red, Shawn.  I left the foam out on the Bayliner...very noisy ride, the CVZ is foamed throughout and its more solid and much quieter.

I would think too, with the foam, the boat would be nearly impossible to sink? As long as the stuff doesn't absorb water but I am sure Red checked that all out. It would be a butt load of buoyancy with little weight.

I been using this foam for about three years now, never seen anything like it, it's a polyurethane mix, impervious to water, set's up hard as a rock, and unbelievable Fast, the electric company here uses it to set telephone poles after a storm, because they can string wire in in 15 /20 minutes, many people use it to set wooden fence post, because it seals off water from the post so it won't rot, and they also use it to set aluminum flag poles, so I figured why not use it in an old boat.  The stuff cost a little over $100 for a 4 gallon kit, 50/50 mix ratio, a 12 to 1 expantion ratio, that means if you mix a gallon of part "A" with a gallon of part "B" stir it up 40 seconds with the little stirring wheel on a drill motor that comes with the kit, pour it in a 55 gallon drum, it will expand up to 33 gallons volumn. The only thing about this stuff is, I wish it was a little slower to blow up, you only have 1 minute after you pour the two parts together to get it poured in place, not even that long in hot weather.  It weighs about 10 pounds a gallon, but not near that much when it's expanded, never figured that out ?   I haven't weighed an expanded piece of it, but it's not very heavy.

Ok so I am thinking I will do the foam. 

Red In looking at the pic from the Celebrity. It looks like you added a 2nd strip on the top edge of the stringers. Was this just to have a larger area to screw too or was this to make all the stringers level so the deck went on level.  I am trying to decide if I want to add a 1x2 or something to the stringers and make it all level that way or if I want to sand/ plane them all down level again. I have a couple that are not level when setting a straight edge across the floor. I think it was a combo of my cutting and getting some set further in to the cabsol mix than then others. On the V-195 I planed them all down so they were close and no big high spots. Ideas?

Both, they didn't all come out even, and yes, I need more space to screw something down than just a 3/4 slice of wood.
