i have a 13' waterbug its build IDENTICAL to a 13' gheenoe highsider only not as thick on the sides of the hull and im in the process of redoing the transom plate i need to find a half sheet of coosa and was wondering what i could do to strengthen up the sides a bit while still keeping it light as i am only running an old (1956) 5.5 evinrude ?
i was thinking of a 2"x1/2" strip of that pink foam insulation and wrap it in 1-2 layers of 5" fiberglass tape and then gusset those back into the transom (using foam for gussets and tape again over top anyone tried this before ?
i saw a guy use the stuff on a 19' mako before for stringers and the keel with REALLY good results he used the 2" thick stuff
im pretty proficient with my glass work so it wont be hard i was just wondering if that would help or should i just suck it up yank the rubrail off and lay another layer 1.5oz mat down on the sides ? or do both
