They cut out a section approximately 2 feet wide by 3 feet from the keel outboard, skipped 2 feet and cut out another section. When those 2 sections were glassed up, they moved the stands and did the sections they previously skipped. I have some photos, but do not know how to post them.
If you are doing a section 2 foot square or a little larger, I don't think you will have any problem with the boat crumbling around you.

I looked at the link provided and it sounds like your issue was very similar to mine. Any way you can get pics to me either directly to my email address or to the site as Rhapsody has suggested would be greatly appreciated. Can you also elaborate on the source of the leak? I know that everyone usually identifies the transom as the source of starboard side moisture but the core samples I pulled from my transome are bone dry. I have suspected the area under the cooler and the bilge. Where did this "repair sealant" leak exactly? It sounds as if it was at the leading edge of the keel. Based on some cracks in the area I suspect mine is at the trailing edge of the keel but I thought the center section of the hull was solid glass so I dismissed the idea that the leak could be in the area of the bilge.
