My recommendation would have been to replicate what better boat builders have done very successfully for many years. They would have constructed the new ribs and stringers of either fiberglass or fiberglass with a foam core. If S2 had built them that way in the first place they wouldn't have failed.
Why did you use G10 instead of stainless steel or bronze for the washers? No other boat builder does. Again, it's risky to ignore what others have done successfully for many years.
Locust may be okay for a wood boat but it's far from the best choice for a fiberglass one. While I don't know what G10 was designed for, I do know it wasn't designed for what you're using it for.
