Wood vs fiberglass stringers
I've read the discussions of this subject and thought I would share
today's experience. I recently bought a 17ft. Tidecraft center console boat. I noticed that it had a little wear on the hull where the bunks hit. I took it in to find out why it was making water. The repairman tells me that water had been getting into the hull and that the stringers and the transome are complete rotted. Further, there is no way to get to the stringers to repair them. In his opinion, the boat is a total loss. I do, however, have a good 1997 Mariner 115hp motor. If that's a consolation. -Raf -- Misifus- Rafael Seibert http://www.ralphandsue.com |
