I totally don't get why you guys are defending the use of wood in fiberglass
boat construction?

On any fiberglass boat over 15 years old what is the one thing that scares
you the most? Rotten transom or rotten stringers. While they can be fixed,
the job is hell. Blisters are just cosmetic.

I'm not defending the use of foam cored stuff like they use topside. Can't
use that junk below the water line.

The key is to keep the water out of it.

Which isn't impossible, but sometimes difficult.

I like the Alfred E. Neuman philosophy for stringers..

"I use foam, What, Me Worry?"

Even better are stringers that don't depend on the core for their
strength.

Because there's nothing wrong with wood stringers properly designed and
encapsulated.

Gel coat pox. And swoopy bubble boat design.

Yeah, just like acne.
