We get our stuff from Mertons primarily, he's cheaper and we can usually get it faster than from Composites One.

We use Composites One for our core material, duratec, and some other oddball sundries, a couple of times a year.

How do you guys feel about having the job done from the outside vs the inside? Seems like more work on the inside but the added benefit for my situation is that I have a wet stringer that, I think could be addressed easily by replacing the drain hose that goes through it and sealing each end.

Where the bottom of the hose lets out into the bilge, the seal is gone, Ive sealed it with marine sealant but the foam is still wet so Im thinking if I do the job from the inside I can dig out most of the wet foam and relpace it.

Here are some pics of the stringer that’s full of water. In the first one you can see the sealant around the drain hose where the water was getting in. The second one is at the top of the stringer wher the drain hose starts. Not sure why they did this but I'm sure its a pretty common problem on older Sea Crafts like mine.
