Ahoy!

Some more updates: I had to reinforce the lip of the deck, where it is fastened to the hull.  It was a little thin anyhow, but I definitely nicked it in a few places with the reciprocating saw.  After grinding off the sealant, I was down to gelcoat in a few places, so there wasn't much structure.  I filled in areas with thickened epoxy and chop strand.  I put down extra layers on the corners and along the stern, where it seemed to have the most stress.  Then I went back over it all with a strip of chop strand and then a woven tape.  It should be plenty strong now.
