I ordered this from my local dealer the other day. They take about ten days because Supra makes them as they are ordered. Thanks again for listing the info, it was huge help having the part number when I called.
No problem. I just got mine delivered today! It is a bit different than the originals but pretty close, just has a smooth surface instead of textured.
Again, sorry for no photo updates guys...I sent he bot to have the stringers 'glassed in so when I pick it up I will add some pics!

Hi All,
Sorry its been a while but have been just getting back into working on the Comp. The main stringers are back in and the marina did a test fit of the motor today for me just to make sure things are lining up. We made some minor mistakes the the stringer step out where the exhaust pipes are to sit so we have to cut/notch some sections out to make them fit and re-glass it...minor setback.
Outside stringers/floors/foam are the next step, then I will get the fuel tank back in place. After that, minor interior mods (including a modified engine cover base to have cup holders) and carpet.
Slow and steady!

Road block.
Turns out whoever owned this boat really hacked it together. At one point someone had this thing apart and I found a spot where a cutoff wheel went right through the transom where the exhaust ports are and that someone covered it up with bondo...literally. I am soc lucky that never came loose as it would of sunk the boat.
I can see daylight through a 1/4" wide slit. I am freaking. What do you think is the best repair here? I was thinking of taping the hole from the outside, epoxy/resin and matte (multiple layers) then from the outside 3M Marine 5200 as a sealant. Thoughts?

So here is what I'm up against...a hole and a crack just below the traps.
Titan, what would you suggest for the crack since it is on the edge of the transom/hull? What about some minor stress cracks on the transom? I feel like a bought a lemon 8 years ago lol, so frustrating!
Yes, he boat is sitting up off the hull, supported on blocks...trying to finish up the stringers.

the spider cracks are very common. personally, i'd glass the inside with some cloth and marinetex the outside. you can use the marinetex to bed the cloth. clean the inside area with acetone and do some grinding first.
for the outside, use a plastic spreader wetted with water to get a smooth finish. sanding marinetex is not fun. it sets up very hard.

What he said ^^
I wouldn't worry about the spider cracks, and only use as much Marine Tex as you need. As Salty said, it's tough to sand.
