Re: 1982 Seasquirt 183 rebuild
First the outer thickness seems very thin to me- maybe 1/4 inch at best(@ transom) that's not bad at all Next as you can see in the pictures - the stringers were never bonded to the transom. that is definitely a better way to do it. You will leave/make limber holes for drainage. Cut the stringers b...

Re: FS 18 Deck Modifications
I dont think its a bad idea at all, I would probably do it if I built an FS18.
