: To me it sort of depends if you're doing a cockpit recess or not.
: On my last boat I cut out the cockpit recess first, then glassed

: the riser. I always glass the underside of the deck after the
: coaming is done so I can connect the glass underneath to the

I used the wood riser as a base for my glass riser and lip. There are 6 layers of glass the run from the lip, down the riser and in under the deck. That should be plenty strong.
