Not having muck luck searching this topic. Can I cover the nailers with cab and pb them to the stringers or screw them on after glassing?

Poor choice of words I guess. Strips of wood to screw or glue next to stringers so the frame of the ski locker has something to attach to.

Ahhh, we call those Cleats! I'd use Douglass Fir and then coat them with a liberal amount of 5 minute epoxy and then epoxy and screw them to the underside of the "SOLE" Deck. Predrill any other holes and then coat the holes and the screws with epoxy too. This will ensure you won't have rot issues in the future.

Thanks! I’m moving along got all the wood in and fillets done. A little rough edge work and the glassing begins. I’ll need a lower back brace by the end of this but enjoying the process. Wish the fillets would dry a bit smoother but all good,
