So here we go. The stern is certainly the wrong shape. And the hull has gaps but not too bad.

so how are you going to correct the stern or are you?
this is part of the process that I use to correct that stern. I have modified that process a bit by removing the rudder skeg so easier to correct the stern & make a new rudder skeg after the stern is corrected.

Thanks that looks like a good approach.

that is just the 1st layer as the next 3-4 layers goes parallel to the keel. each layer is sanded & shaped before the next layer goes on. no putty involved at all.
