I don't think using thinner glass will help structurally. The trick is to use smaller pieces of glass to fill in the taper. A piece of glass tape could be used at the edge of the stem. The final look of the stem is going to be determined by fairing. Use a good marine grade fairing, and fill and sand repeatedly to get a smooth finish.
You are correct, I meant smaller I said thinner. But it's looking to me like all I need to do it put like "bandaids" down the whole stem and fair it. My issue with this approach is there is no 6:1 tapper from each side of the hull to grab onto
