> Ed Thanks for the nable I wiil keep it close.  I have been to the archives and forund the info about the stringers and such.  An for the most part I hve foung where most leaks are coming from.  A have a little boat building/rebuliding experience.  While statinoned on Guam in the 80's I worked with a company that built 40 to 55" power cats.  Mostly doing there wiring diagrams and wiring for Coast Guard certs, but I picked up quite a bit of Info on the fiberglass side also. 

Thanks for the input.
