Yea, another one.

I bought this cheap, and I know why now. I have to replace all the wood in the boat, including the small pieces that rim the hull (to screw the top to the hull). Anyway, here are my questions:

I've done some looking at the forums for recommendations for the weight of the cloth for the transom, but I couldn't find any. I found out that the transom had been replaced (VERY poorly), so I don't know if I can just use the same, which is 12oz. (.020" thickness). Some help here would be appreciated.

Same question for the stringers. I measured it and the cloth seems to be 100 mils, which is really thick. It looks like one layer, but, again, I don't know what to use here.

Got some pics, which I'll put on now.

Thanks for the help!
Good Morning! I too have fallen into the trap of replacing the deck on my 72 Capri 15. Any words of advice on this? I was also wondering if the main stringer doe the center had a radius where it runs under the fore deck?
