Stringer Rot
I got a crack next to the keel on my 1976 SeaRay (30ft). The BoatUS
surveyor reports the stringers are rotting away inside and the hull flexed
when they put the boat on a stand for the winter. The stringers under the
engines are still in good shape. The damage is about 10' from the bow.
BoatUS will not cover rot. What are my options? I know I can repair the
crack, but will the boat be seaworthy? Should I get rid of it ASAP?
