    Building a Wyman flattie skiff which calls for a pair of sister keel-sons. I plan on fiber glassing the bottom for abrasion resistance. My question is do I install these first and fiberglass over it or, glass the bottom and then put the keel-sons on top of this. Seem like if they are a wear item, you'd want to be able to replace them.
