I removed all the wood that was rotting in the stringers and put very thick biaxial fiberglass on top of the very thin pre existing fiberglass. the air pockets on the stingers are mostly from there being no structure underneath for the fiberglass to laminate to. if you want to see more watch the full detailed build here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I3AAJ64jD8 2. The transom repair was not ideal I know, but it will work for a long time. The rotting wood was only on the lower portion of the transom and I removed most of it, the rest of it I drilled out and injected with thickened epoxy into. The wood higher up on the transom turned out to be damp, but not rotten yet so I just needed to remove the old fiberglass and dry it out. The patch in the center was not the best way to repair what I did remove, but due to the shape of the upper fiberglass shell the transom gets great support from the engine well and all around. I have tested the transom with some aggressive boating and see no flex or failure. 3. The staples were stainless and all the wood on the boat has a very nice coating of epoxy. 4. I wont talk about how much the boat cost to build, but I will say it took at least 700 hour to build and it was cheaper to rebuild it myself than buy a new boat with a wood floor and custom upholstery. 5. This was a project I did for school, part of the point of doing this project was to show off my design and building skills. Hope that clears everything up for anyone asking
