While generally in good condition, the side-rails on my new-to-me 1962 Super Sailfish are loose and need to be re-mounted. On one side the screw-holes are entirely stripped out (seller's picture below), and on the other side the rail is also pretty wobbly by woodworking standards.
I have lots of Marine-tex left over from hull repair on my Minifish, so I'm thinking that should work here as well, i.e. take out all the screws on both sides and fill the holes with Marine-tex (maybe drilling the holes out a bit if that seems necessary to get it all the way down on the non-stripped side). So (a) is that a good plan, and if not, what is better? And (b) if so, should I let it set and then drill fresh holes, or just push the screws in while it's still soft and let it set around them, as I saw described for a similar screw-stripped-out-in-fiberglass video on-line, when I first googled 'Marine-tex'.
Thanks for any advice on this.
