I have been on a few threads about stringers, and I do appreciate the input, most of you guys have forgot more about resins than I will know, I bought a fiberglass motorsailer that has a wood topsides and deck but a fiberglass hull, the hull is in good shape, but I have had to replace the aft deck and the port and starboard decks around the wheel house, the boat was constructed with mahogoney beams and plywood, I used treated wood for the beams and fir plywood as the replacement wood for the decks, what I need to know is when I reglass the decks, the aft deck,and the topsides can I used polyester because of the cost and seal with epoxy later I attached the 2x6 treated wood to the fiberglass hull with 7 inch ss 1/4 bolts and sealed with 5200 and then installed the fir plywood to the deck
